We have an application written in C# (.Net 2.0). MS-Access as database and crystal report for reporting. I have to port it to Windows Phone 7 (Target mobile is LUMIA 800).
My concerns are:
bad news, you have to start from scratch as WP7 only support SilverLight apps (XNA too, but it’s for games). Moreover, you won’t be able to connects to access directly.
A classic Data application on WP7 will use some Web Services hosted on a server that will provides all data access, whichever is behind. Then the WP7 will query the WS to get/put data.
I’d suggest you to take a look at WCF RIA Services, but you have to understand it’s a high learning curve starting from Windows Forms skills.
