I need to make a connection to a Sybase (SQL Anywhere) database in a Windows CE app over the network (wifi).

I'm hoping someone in the SO community has done before and can't point me in the right direction. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the topic. I've tried google, SO and the sybase website.

Thanks in advance

You want the iAnywhere.Data.SQLAnywhere Namespace from the SQL Anywhere .NET Data Provider

Possible Workaround:

i'm not sure if it's feasible for you or not but if all else fails you could create a simple web service with one or two methods that accept SQL commands and return DataSets. It is a bigger IT hassle to have such a component in place between you clients and your sever but it does work. i did something similar a while back to communicate with an Oracle db.

  • There is no OLEDB provider for Sybase (or any other database) for Windows CE. The link you point to is the desktop provider for SQL Server Compact - not at all what the question is asking for. – ctacke Oct 20 '09 at 21:08
  • my bad ctacke. i wasn't paying very close attention. i edited the answer to just keep the workaround. – Paul Sasik Oct 20 '09 at 22:39
