SAP .NET Connector for .NET Compact Framework?

Posted on Jun 04, 2004 at 08:06 AM 20 Views

Hi there,

did anybody know if the SAP .NET Connector also runs in applications written for the .NET Compact Framework. I mean programs that run on PDAs or something (Smart Device Applications). So that i can directly call a SAP function module from a PDA application?

Thanks

    Unfortunately, the answer is no.

    As Guangwei already wrote, you cannot use .NET Connector from Compact framework as it uses unmananged code that cannot run on a PDA. But you have two alternatives:

    - If your SAP server is 6.20 or higher, you can use native Soap support with MS "Add web reference" feature. Details about native Soap support can be found in service.sap.com/connectors.

    - Else you need a "Middleware". The middleware can use the .NET Connector. For communication between the middleware and PDA you can use any protocol of your choice like WebServices or .NET Remoting.
