For the last few days I've been banging my head against a brick wall...
I just couldn't get
a) A SQL Mobile database to read due to upgrading it to 3.5 and forgetting!!! (Idiot!)
b) A solution to deploy to an emulator... "Connection Failed. The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel" O like that's going to happen! - lol
Well after a few emails to some Conchango's (Stuart Preston, Kay Adeyemi and Kevin 'I DON'T blog' McConaghy) and a little look on some boards and a solve to said Device Emulator "Connection Failed" error has been solved...
They all come down to me upgrading to Visual Studio 2008 BETA the other week, not only did it upgrade my SQL CE data store and solution, it also messed about with my emulator settings...
So as this link explains (about 5 posts from the top) delete the "CoreCon" folder...
This can be found in
"Documents and Settings\<localuser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon" on XP
or
"Users\x\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CoreCon" on Vista
Job done... Next time, USE VPC's to mess with BETA'S!!! FOOL!!!!
