title: sql connection on c# smartdevice application
body: <p>I'm trying do build an application using the pocket pc emulator...
  My goal is to connect to a sqlserver express db placed onto another pc
  note that in a simple desktop program everything works fine, but in the smartphone program, when this code is run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SqlConnection DatabaseConnection = new SqlConnection(@"Data source=SERVER\SQL2008;Initial Catalog=myDatabase;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=myUser;Password=myPassword");
  DatabaseConnection.Open();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and when the Open is called, this is the error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, TdsParserState state)
     at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, TdsParserState state)
     at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning()
     at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Connect(String host, SqlInternalConnection connHandler, Int32 timeout)
     at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OpenAndLogin()
     at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection..ctor(SqlConnection connection, Hashtable connectionOptions)
     at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where is the possible error?
  the connection string into a desktop app works, the "\SERVER" pc is found by the smartphone simulator...</p>
  
  <p>any ideas?</p>
