Ive been programming in C and VB.net for about 15 years. I am not currently employed as a software developer because I own a Heating & Air Conditioning business. In this field of work the laws and regulations are getting very strict. In a newly installed Heating and Air Conditioning system or a typical service call we are now now required to calculate and file various conditions and measurements to properly maintain comfort and safety.
I have been developing software on a Laptop to store client information, types of systems, record calculations, etc. using VB.net and SQL with an Access and SQL Server database.
All fine and dandy but I have realized that us HVAC Technicians dont all carry a Laptop on the job and if so it is to bulky to carry around. So I have decided to port to a Pocket PC.
So my questions on this topic are:
1) What Pocket PC is recommended to use Windows Mobile VB.net to desisgn this software?
2) Does a Windows Mobile Pocket PC have ADO.net database capability?
3) If so, what database Software can be used?
(SQL Server or/and Access?)
4) How large can a database actually be on a Pocket PC harddrive without crashing?
5) Is a Pocket PC much slower when connected and manipulating database tables?
Any information or recommendations are highly appreciated so I can move on to my GOALS!
Thank You
