Create device in emulator from Management Studio

Question

Hi,

i know i have the chance to access my mobile device (physical or emulator) from Management Studio.
I went to Connect Object Explorer, server type Sql Server Mobile but i can´t connect to my emulator and i can´t see any way to connect to a physical device either. How can i do this?

The only thing i can do is create a sql server mobile database (.sdf).

Thanks

Answer 2

You can do this only if your device (or emulator) is connected through active sync.

Object Explorer:

Connect->

    Database file->   Select 'Browse for more'  and then select 'Mobile Device' from the file browser.

 

If you want to create a new database on the device, then just select 'New database' instead of 'Browse'

Thanks
