i launched Active SYnch from Desktop,it detects All ports likr COM,USB etc,but i dont know how to connect it with my Emulator,my questions are:
i am using standalone PC,means it dont have any ethernet card and internet is connected via Dialup:
  • how to connect make connection between Sql2005 and SQL Mobile?
  • will i need to transfer my .SDF files on emulator first and then make connection
  • i have to utilize my own service,hosted on http://localhost and Mapping service,so i need to connect Internet on emulator to consume webserice as well as the service available on my desktop,how can i make connection and how do i test it?will IE on emulator browse sites if connection is made?
i know these questions have been asked a lot but i am still confused,specially for database related connectivity,,i am very frustrated as i am not able to figure out yet
p:s how can I launch Device emulator Manager,i read in many posts here
I am using VS2005 Beta2,SQ2005 CTP,SQLMObile and WindowsMobile5 SDK for SmartPhone and all installed on WindowsXP installed on VPC2004

In order to connect the Device Emulator through ActiveSync, you need to use the Device Emulator Manager, and then cradle your emulator using the manager. Once the emulator is cradled in the manager, you can connect to it using ActiveSync just as you would a hardware device.

The Device Emulator Manager can be accessed from the Visual Studio 2005 Tools menu, or can be launched directly from the installation location at c:\program files\Microsoft Device Emualtor\1.0\dvcemumanager.exe.
