Welcome to Microsoft® ADOCE version 3.1

Microsoft® ActiveX® Data Objects for the Windows® CE operating system (ADOCE) provides a subset of the desktop ADO specifically engineered to work with Windows CE. ADOCE includes its own internal database provider and enables you to have access to databases stored locally on a Windows CE–based device instead of working with databases stored remotely on desktop computers. The ADOCE version 3.1 control can also work with data sources that use an OLE DB provider.

With the ADOCE control, you can develop applications using most of the same ADO syntax you use for programming on a desktop computer. ADOCE requires minimal work to port existing ADO-based applications.

For the latest information about developing for Windows CE, visit the Microsoft Windows CE World Wide Web site, www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded.
