I used it on Mobile devices. I developed a ClickOnce VB.Net Launcher app that our users run to copy the SDF from the mobile device over to the PC. The VB app then pulls datasets (invoices) from the SDF using ADO.Net and passes them to a web service. Different datasets (customer updates, New "wishlist orders", Item updates) are also returned via the web service and inserted into the SDF. The SDF is then copied back to the mobile device. Users of older versions (CF 2.0, 3.0) are also converted to 3.5 on the fly via my app. I had to write some custom Bootstrappers to detect if the correct prequisites were installed. The prerequisites are: Windows Installer 3.1 .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 MS ActiveSync 4.5 (if using WinXP) Windows Mobile Device Center (If Vista/7, 32 bit) Windows Mobile Device Center x64 (If Vista/7, 64 bit) SQL Server CE 3.5 SP1 (X86) SQL Server CE 3.5 SP1 (X64) I didn't like Click once at first as I thought it was very limited. After finding out about writing Bootstrappers, I was much more happier with it.
