Comparing Native and .NET Language Objects (SQL Server Compact)
The objects, methods, and properties you use when you are developing applications in native code (using Microsoft Visual C++) are described in Native Programming Reference (SQL Server Compact) and the OLE DB Provider Reference (SQL Server Compact). However, when you are developing applications using one of the .NET programming languages, see MSDN online for more information.
Programming Language Differences
Many of the objects, methods, and properties you use when you are developing managed applications are similar to their counterparts in native code. If you are familiar with the objects used in Visual C++, much of your knowledge will transfer when switching to managed code.
This section describes the key differences in the naming and use of objects, methods, and properties. The following table describes the topics in this section:
