Where is System.Data.SqlServerCe?
I am playing around with VS 2008 C# Express and .NET 3.5 and SQL Server Compact. I can't find a reference to the above? Anybody know where it is?
ASKER
I saw that... system.data.sqlserverce.dl l doesn't exist (and I've downloaded everything I could find)...
I haven't seen that in the VC# express edition, I have the Visual Studio Professional Edition Beta 2, and in the installer there is a separated option to install Sql CE database support
ASKER
Hmmm... now I'm wondering if it's even supported under VS Express 2008...
as a general rule, C# EE doesn't support Mobile development, so I wouldn't expect to find SqlServerCE there.
ASKER
Sorry, Ghost... that's old stuff... I was able to create a new compact database, so I know it's supported under VS Express 2008... I guess I'm breaking new ground here, so I'll just keep plodding along, and will post the results here for others.
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions...

>> I was able to create a new compact database
How? from a VS Express project? or you have installed the engine separately?

Ghost... I think you got it... I was getting the error described... I'll try to remedy that and get back to you...
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well... here's the definitive answer:
Visual Studio Standard, Pro, Enterprise or above required - Visual Studio Express SKUs will not work with SQL Server Compact Tools...
But, the good news is that I was able to reinstall VS 2008 and lo and behold the necessary connections, etc were there...

so, my answer was not true?

Yes, it does, but not with the tools... I have been able to create a compact database and tables with ease (no code), and the using statements are there also to support the code.

Just I am curious about this:

Are you able to use the namespace and include the dll into your project with Visual C# EE 2008 ?

ASKER
Yep... but don't need the .dll... apparently it's automatically included in 2008... and you can even create the database and tables with a rudimentary tool...
