Now that you have both databases set up on your mobile device, you're ready to build the data tier. Let's take a first-hand look at the various Visual Studio projects you are going to build. There are four different Smart Device projects (all hosted within the same Visual Studio solution).
Let's take a look at an overview of these projects:
|
Project name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
CRMLiveFramework |
This is a light-weight Class Library project that contains the basic classes ( |
|
SalesForceApp |
This is the main Application project—the sales force application itself. It will hold all the forms (UI) and logic for the sales force application. For this chapter, we will only build the forms related to setting up and configuring the various database plugins. |
|
SQLServerPlugin |
This is the actual SQL Server CE plugin. It is a Class Library project that contains all the functions necessary to process SQL Server CE database access requests. |
|
OracleLitePlugin |
This is the Oracle Lite plugin. Just like the SQLServer plugin, it is a Class Library project that contains all the functions needed for Oracle Lite database access requests. |
