Hi,

Installing order:

1. VS2005
2. SQL CE3.0
3. VS2008
4. add Reference SQL3.0 (SQLServerCe)

Result: SQL3.0 is gone in : Choose Data Source
in Data Source Configuration wizzard in VS2008 .-(

The graphical designers such as the Data Source Configuration Wizard in
VS2008 only support SQL Server Compact v3.5.

If you need to target a SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition v3.1 database you
can't use any of these tools within Visual Studio 2008.

Instead you must manually do things yourself in code. You should still be
able to add a File Reference to the v3.1 assemblies, via the Add
Reference... option on your project.

Hope this helps,
Christopher Fairbairn
