Hi all,

I have encountered an error during replication. The following is my code;

Try

m_SQlEngine = New SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine("Data Source =\Project_JobLogger.sdf")

m_SQlEngine.CreateDatabase()

Dim SqlCeConnection As New SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection("Data Source =\Project_JobLogger.sdf")

m_SQLConnection.Open()

Dim Repl As SqlServerCe.SqlCeReplication

Repl = New SqlServerCe.SqlCeReplication

Repl.InternetUrl = http://Ganges/PJLogger/sqlcesa30.dll

Repl.Publisher = "Ganges"

Repl.PublisherDatabase = "Project_JobLogger"

Repl.Publication = "PJLPublisher"

Repl.Subscriber = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName

Repl.SubscriberConnectionString = m_SQLConnection.ConnectionString

Repl.HostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName

Repl.ExchangeType = ExchangeType.BiDirectional

Catch ex As Exception

End Try

The error just displays - System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException;SqlCeException

Can anyone state what is the problem please?

Thanks

Matt

Matt,

There is a lot more information hiding inside the SqlCeException that is being thrown that you'll need to troubleshoot this situation. Here is some code to unwrap the exception and get specifics.

Public Sub DisplaySQLCEErrors(ByVal ex As SqlCeException)

Dim errorCollection As SqlCeErrorCollection = ex.Errors
Dim bld As New StringBuilder()
Dim inner As Exception = ex.InnerException
Dim err As SqlCeError

For Each err In errorCollection

bld.Append(ControlChars.Lf + " Error Code: " + err.HResult.ToString())
bld.Append(ControlChars.Lf + " Message : " + err.Message)
bld.Append(ControlChars.Lf + " Minor Err.: " + err.NativeError.ToString())
bld.Append(ControlChars.Lf + " Source : " + err.Source)

Dim numPar As Integer
For Each numPar In err.NumericErrorParameters
If (numPar <> 0) Then
bld.Append(ControlChars.Lf + " Num. Par. : " + numPar.ToString())
End If
Next numPar
Dim errPar As String
For Each errPar In err.ErrorParameters
If (errPar <> String.Empty) Then
bld.Append(ControlChars.Lf + " Err. Par. : " + errPar)
End If
Next errPar

MessageBox.Show(bld.ToString(), "SQL Mobile Error")

Next err

End Sub

Thanks a lot Darren, I found your piece of code very useful. It managed to specify the exact error

Thanks Again ,
