Re: Connecting to Sql Server CE database from Visual Studio 2005

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If you went to my TechEd session you would know... ;)
You'll need to start with Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and then go up to
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/compact/downloads.mspx and step
through the downloads.

See my ebook on SQL Server Compact Edition for more detailed information.

I'm developing a device application in Visual Studio 2005 and i've
installed
SQL Server CE onto my computer. However when i go to add a connection via
the VS2005 Server explorer, it does not give me an option for SQL Server
2005
CE.

I'm using VS2005 with SP2 and i do not have SQL server Management studio.

does anyone know how i can make the connection to a CE database through
Visual Studio Server explorer?
