Reading MS SQL Server CE SDF files on full framework

[Guest]

Hello

We are building an enterprise system that includes pocket pcs running
windows ce and sql server ce. we need to be able to take the sql ce database
(.sdf) and look at the data for debugging purposes. This needs to be done on
a central desktop machine. Is there any way of reading the sdf (sql ce
database) file from a desktop machine.

I have tried referencing the sqlce dll (does not work) (needs the compact
framework running)

Any offers

There are some third party tools to read sdf files in desktop few links

are here

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
