I looked at building a web app, installed IIS on a server (against my better judgement) and realized that I still needed a kicker application on the device to start the barcode read and launch the web app URL. I just decided that it was not worth the hassle when MCL will do what I need in a straight forward manner.

Thanks for the suggestion.

>>Hi all,

>>I am beginning a project using Windows CE.Net 4.2 running on a Symbol wireless data terminal (MC9060) and I have realized that there is no ODBC in the .NET CF. Short of expensive 3rd party tools and CALs, how are others dealing with this?

Reading most of the night left me realizing that there is limited data access (SQL CE) from CE.NET and .NET CF. If I am wrong, or if there are work arounds, can someone shed some light? I have a hard time believing an enterprise tool has no data access.
