System.Data.SqlServerCe Namespace

The System.Data.SqlServerCe namespace is the managed data provider for . This namespace is a collection of classes that provide access to  databases. By using System.Data.SqlServerCe, you can create, manage, and synchronize  databases from a smart device or a computer. 

The following features are available for creating desktop applications.

  • Support for the TransactionScope class.

  •  provider for the  Entity Framework (System.Data.SqlServerCe.Entity.dll).

  • Support for and  application development in and later versions of .

  • Support for synchronizing data by using .

Classes

  Class Description
Public class ResultSetEnumerator An enumerator that can be used to iterate through a collection of records in a ResultSet object. The ResultSetEnumerator is not designed to be used directly from within your code. You will get more functionality by working directly with the SqlCeResultSet object.
Public class ResultSetView Implements data binding interfaces and provides a bridge between user interface controls and the SqlCeResultSet.
Public class RowView Infrastructure.
Public class SqlCeChangeTracking Provides methods that can be used to track changes to tables in a database.
Public class SqlCeCommand Represents an SQL statement to execute against a data source.
Public class SqlCeCommandBuilder Provides a means of automatically generating single-table commands used to reconcile changes made to a DataSet with the associated database. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeConnection Represents an open connection to a  data source.
Public class SqlCeDataAdapter Represents a set of data commands and a database connection that are used to fill the DataSet and update the data source.
Public class SqlCeDataReader Provides a way of reading a forward-only stream of data rows from a data source. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeEngine Represents the properties, methods, and other objects of the Engine object. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeError Collects information relevant to a warning or error returned by the data source. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeErrorCollection Collects all errors generated by the .NET Compact Framework Data Provider for . This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeException The exception thrown when the underlying provider returns a warning or error from a  data source. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeFlushFailureEventArgs Encapsulates event arguments for the FlushFailure event.
Public class SqlCeInfoMessageEventArgs Provides data for the InfoMessage event. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeInvalidDatabaseFormatException Throws an exception from SQL Server Compact data source when you try to open the database file of an older or newer version of SQL Server Compact.
Public class SqlCeLockTimeoutException This exception is thrown if the lock timeout has been reached.
Public class SqlCeParameter Represents a parameter to a SqlCeCommand and, optionally, its mapping to a DataSet column. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeParameterCollection Collects all parameters relevant to a SqlCeCommand as well as their respective mappings to DataSet columns.
Public class SqlCeProviderFactory Represents a set of methods for creating instances of a provider's implementation of the data source classes.
Public class SqlCeRemoteDataAccess Initializes a new instance of the SqlCeRemoteDataAccess object. For more information about Remote Data Access, see Using Remote Data Access (RDA).
Public class SqlCeReplication Initializes a new instance of the SqlCeReplication object. For more information about replication, see the Books Online. For more information about merge replication with , see the Books Online.
Public class SqlCeResultSet An updateable, scrollable, and bindable cursor.
Public class SqlCeRowUpdatedEventArgs Provides data for the RowUpdated event.
Public class SqlCeRowUpdatingEventArgs Provides data for the RowUpdating event.
Public class SqlCeTransaction Represents an SQL transaction to be made at a data source. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class SqlCeTransactionInProgressException Occurs when an attempt is made to modify a database while another transaction is in progress.
Public class SqlCeType Infrastructure.
Public class SqlCeUpdatableRecord Represents a row of updatable values from the data source. A SqlCeResultSet object contains one or more UpdatableRecords.
Public class SqlMetaData Infrastructure. Specifies and retrieves metadata information from parameters and columns retrieved from a database. This class cannot be inherited.

Delegates

  Delegate Description
Public delegate OnStartTableDownload A user-defined delegate to the event that fires at the start of downloading table changes from the server.
Public delegate OnStartTableUpload A user-defined delegate to the event that fires at the start of uploading table changes to the server.
Public delegate OnSynchronization A user-defined delegate that consumes the ongoing synchronization events reported during the reconciler work.
Public delegate SqlCeFlushFailureEventHandler The delegate that must be implemented to listen for FlushFailure events.
Public delegate SqlCeInfoMessageEventHandler Represents the method that will handle the InfoMessage event of a SqlCeConnection.
Public delegate SqlCeRowUpdatedEventHandler Represents the method that will handle the RowUpdated event of a SqlCeDataAdapter.
Public delegate SqlCeRowUpdatingEventHandler Represents the method that handles the RowUpdating event of a SqlCeDataAdapter.
