Database connection classes for a C# pocket PC application

Hi all,
I'm writing in Visual C# (of Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional
Edition package) a program that must run in a pocket PC (with Pocket PC
2002 installed), so when I created the project I selected "Visual C#"
as "Project Type" and "Smart Device Application" as "Model".

This program must connect to an Access database (stored in the Pocket
PC too) and read, edit and update its tables' values.

To my unspeakable horror, I noticed that the ADO.NET namespace
System.Data.Ole Db and its classes (as OleDbConnection ) aren't supported
in .NET Compact Framework and Windows CE!!!

I also noticed that the other ADO.NET namespace (System.Data.Sq lClient)
and its classes (as SqlConnection) are obviously supported, but I have
read in MSDN library that they can connect only to SQL Server databases
(not Access databases).

Can you tell me what kind of namespaces and classes I must use to
interface to an Access database in a .NET C# Pocket PC application?

Thank you very much

Hello, In my past ASP pages, at the top I used an include file to open an ado connection for the entire page, then at the bottom, I would have another include file to close the connection. Now that I'm moving to .NET, and using ado.net as well, does anyone have any ideas to accomplish this for asp.net. I'd like for it to be as much behind the scenes as possible, hopefully so I'll never have to look at statements like...

Hi, I have an asp.net application which runs from a CD-ROM using Cassini. As such, it is single user only.

There is logic in the code to ensure that the connection is

Is there a straightfoward API in .NET that allows for inspection of a database? That is, to look at the structure of the database, without knowing anything in advance about it? For example, retrieving a list of tables in the database. Doing a little browsing in MSDN, I see that the abstract representation of a database appears to be the DataSet class. I also see that I can use "data adapter" classes (e.g. OdbcDataAdapter) to connect a...
