rda.pull exception

Hi,

I have followed the technical artical "Remote Data Access Synchronization with SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition and Visual Basic.NET" to create a sample application.

But when I run debug mode and get an exception unexpected as following as doing rad.pull :

Immediate Window:

A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll

Message Box

[Contacts]

Code:

Private Sub RADPullButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RADPullButton.Click

Try
VerifyDatabaseExists()
Dim rda As SqlCeRemoteDataAccess
rda = GetRDAObject()
rda.Pull("Contacts", _
"SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName, ContactName, ContactTitle, Address, City, Region, PostalCode, Country, Phone, Fax FROM Customers", _
My.Settings.ServerOleDBNorthwindConnectionString, _
RdaTrackOption.TrackingOnWithIndexes, _
"Contacts_Errors")

Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString())
Finally
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default
End Try

End Sub

Thanks in advance,

JD

You need to grab all the error information, by following the guidelines in this topic from SQL CE Books online - Handling Errors in Managed Applications http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174079.aspx

There already is a local table with the same name as used in your RDA definition. See this very helpful post by laxmi at http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlservercompact/archive/2007/01/23/rda-subscriptions.aspx

I am having a similar problem. When I pull the tables, I also create an error table (tablename_err). If I have to pull a table again, I first drop the table if it exists and then attempt to pull it again. I cannot do this though because when I drop the table, the error table does not get dropped and it will not let me pull a another error table (error 28573). I have attempted to explicitly drop the error table, but I am not allowed to do that either as that generates the 28605 error: "DDL operations on the table are restricted." I did not have this problem with SQLCE 2.0, only since I migrated to SQLMobile (3.0). How do I get rid of the original error tables so that I can pull again?

One doesn't has to drop the error tables explicitly. These will be dropped automatically when the associated RDA tracked table is dropped. For e.g.:

rda.pull(@."pulltable", @."select * from foo", <conn string to SQL server>, RDATrackOption.TrackingOn, @."err_pull");

when one drops pulltable, err_pull automatically gets dropped since it is associated with pulltable which is being tracked. Please refer to "Maintaining Error Tables" in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171782.aspx

Could you verify if you are indeed dropping all the local data tables into which you are attempting to pull data?
