title: Connecting to SQL 2005 from a windows mobile device
body: <p>I am trying to write a simple application that runs on a Windows Mobile 6 device and can connect to a SQL 2005 server and read and write to the database.  It is ok if it only connects to the SQL server while it is docked.</p>
  
  <p>I have never worked with mobile devices, so I may be thinking about it incorrectly.  I created a DataSet and a TableAdapter like I would with a regular desktop app, but when I run the application in the emulator, I get a SqlException when I try to open the connection on the TableAdapter.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there something obvious I'm missing?  Do I need to explicitly tell the emulator to act like it is docked?  Does it need to be configured to see that it is in the network?  I can ping the SQL server in question from within the app so there should be some connectivity</p>
