In a recent project we decided to migrate the application's data engine from SQL CE 3.1 to SQL CE 3.5.  The challenge with this is that the file formats themselves are not compatible and trying to connect to a 3.1 database usign the 3.5 objects will cause an Exception.  3.5 provides a method to upgrade 3.1 database files, but to use it you really need to know that the file is in 3.1 format to begin with.

Of course you could always put in logic to connect and catch the exception and then upgrade, but let's face it - using exceptions for flow control is a bad practice and any ime it can be avoided it should be. 

Surprisingly, the SQL CE team didn't give us any mechanism otherwise to determine a database file's version, so I put together the following (which should work on the desktop as well as the device):

internal enum SSCEVersion
{
    Unknown,
    v3_1,
    v3_5
}

internal static SSCEVersion GetDatabaseVersion(string path)
{
    uint signature = 0;

    using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open))
    {
        using (BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(stream))
        {
            stream.Seek(16, SeekOrigin.Begin);

            signature = reader.ReadUInt32();
        }
    }

    switch (signature)
    {
        case 0x00357b9d: // 3.5
            return SSCEVersion.v3_5;
        case 0x002dd714: // 3.1
            return SSCEVersion.v3_1;
        default:
            return SSCEVersion.Unknown;
    }
}

If you use Visual Studio 2008, do yourself a huge favor and install the PowerCommands.

So, you want network statistics for your Windows CE or Windows Mobile device?  I think the new Smart Device Framework 2.2's NetworkInformation namespace might just give you what you're after.  It's got almost everything the desktop gives, plus we even provide access to the ARP and routing tables (something you *don't* get on the desktop).  Here's a complete sample on getting the supported statistics:

IPGlobalProperties globalProps = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
Debug.WriteLine("\r\nGlobal IP Properties\r\n====================");
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" Host Name: {0}", globalProps.HostName));
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" Domain Name: {0}", globalProps.DomainName));
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" DHCP Scope Name: {0}", globalProps.DhcpScopeName));

IPGlobalStatistics globalStatsv4 = globalProps.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics();
Debug.WriteLine("\r\nGlobal IPv4 Statistics\r\n====================");
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" Packets Received: {0}", globalStatsv4.ReceivedPackets));
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" Packets Delivered: {0}", globalStatsv4.ReceivedPacketsDelivered));
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" Packets Discarded: {0}", globalStatsv4.ReceivedPacketsDiscarded));
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" Packets Forwarded: {0}", globalStatsv4.ReceivedPacketsForwarded));
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" Packets Received w/ Address Errors: {0}", globalStatsv4.ReceivedPacketsWithAddressErrors));
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(" Packets Received w/ Header Errors: {0}", globalStatsv4.ReceivedPacketsWithHeadersErrors));

Smart Device Framework 2.2 refactored a lot of our network interface classes.  Yes, it's likely to casue some angst with people that used the older stuff, but it really is for the best.  I never liked the older mechanism that exposed things like SSID for network interfaces that weren't even wireless.  The new model is much friendlier and object-oriented.  Here's a quick (and very thorough) example of how to use the new classes.  As you can see, there's *nothing* to be known about the interface that isn't exposed.
