Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 in Visual Studio 2010

I had created a database using Microsoft Access and would like to link it to the Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 in VS 2010. How do I correctly do it by linking so that all data in Microsoft Access can be displayed in the windows phone once I debugged in the Emulator?

Really appreciate any help in this because I'm not really sure if I'm on the right track in doing what I'm doing now. Thanks! :)

As far as I know you can't use Access on a phone (later versions can be used on a tablet though) - see this blog for an alternative office blog[^]

Shall I post that as a solution or do you want to wait and see if anyone has any other ideas?

Solution 1

You cannot directly access databases in Silverlight.
What you will need to do is build a web service and let that service communicate with the database.

The App will communicate with the service.
An example - Web service on Windows Phone[^].
