Hi Rainer,

I wasn't aware of that since I have VS 2005 and VS 2008 on my machine at the
moment. I am surprised though. Is this the download link you used or the
German equivalent?

Rainer,

I just noticed you are asking about SQLCE 2.0. I don't believe that does
work with VS 2008. Is there any possibility you could upgrade your
databases?

Yes i can upgrad from 2.0 to 3.0 on an other machine.
But on my default develope machine i cant install
SQL Mobíle 3.0 after VS2008 wich comes with 3.5.

But the install 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 .-(

thanks from an old VO User

You must manually select the reference - that iws to say you click "Add
Reference" and the browse to the SQL CE 3.0 files.

Rainer,

The data source tools for VS 2008 do not work with SQL CE 3.0. You can still
add the reference manually, but you can't use the data source tools.
