I just downloaded the above but when I look in visual web developer 2010 express I see no data provider reference .
I was wondering how to attach/create db? in the above, is it a clickable option in tools .net framework options or is VS 2010 not ready to use SQL CE 4 yet,
I have come accross a scott's blog today;

what is exactly Sql server compact edition? it says that I do not need a sql server to store my databases if I use that in my bin folder? so I can use my mdf databases in app_data folder. is that true?
How can I handle more than 4k of text on the new SQL Compact Edition 4? nvarchar only supports 4k and when I change to ntext, I get the same exception as I get using nvarchar(4k), when using the Microsoft.Data wrapper included with Microsoft WebMatrix. Should it normally work using ntext?

View 2 RepliesI have ported an asp.net application form SQL Server Express to SQLCE 3.5 in Visual Studio 008. Although not recommended, everything works like a charm, except for creating datasets for use in SRSS reports.

I need help making selections on my installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition onto my Laptop (the only computer in my house). I need to develop a couple of different databases and use them from my Visual Studio applications. Then I will upload the SQL databases and the Web Applications to GoDaddy for deployment to general public.My question is that installation is asking me questions I honestly don't know how to answer because I am using a different SQL this time around after reformatting my hard drive"
1. Do I use Default or Named Instance?2. Do I use the Built-In System account or a Domain User account?3. If answer 2 is Domain User then I am in trouble because I don't think I have a Domain, and I don't know what one is. Where would I find the user name, the password, and the domain?

View 2 RepliesI want to use SQL Server 2008 Web Edition with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. (Both are installed fine on Windows 7).I know I can change the entry in Data Connection (in VS Options) to the named instance of my Web Edition but, when I do this then try to add a database to an App_Data folder (via Add New Item...) I get an error saying I need the Express version of SqlServer 2005 or 2008 (I opted NOT to install this during installation as I knew I'd be using the full Web Edition instead).
I CAN add a data connection to a database created in the Web Edition instance by Sql Server Management Studio so VS can use the Web Edition instance.So, if I've changed the Data Connection to the Web Edition instance, why can't I add a database using that instance to my App_Data folder? Can I ONLY add Express instance databases to this folder?
I want connect to SQL Server Compact 4.0 in my ASP.NET application..
Here is example of code:
protected void Page_Load(object sendhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/asker, EventArgs e)
{
string connStr = "Data Source=D:\MyDB.sdf;";
string sqlStr = "select * from tblMyTable";
var sqlDataSrc = new SqlDataSource(connStr, sqlStr);
GridWithUrls.DataSource = sqlDataSrc;
GridWithUrls.DataBind();
}
But I have the next error:
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
The SqlDataSource has constructor with three parameters, one of them is 'providerName' so, how to specify that I want definitely use Sql Server Compact provider ? Also I have added System.Data.SqlServerCe reference..
I'm currently trying to install the "new" Microsoft WebMatrix Beta 2 (a web programming IDE). I was trying to use Web Platform Installer for this. But it 404's on the SQL Compact 4.0 CPT2 and it's tools. I was able to get the runtime from the Microsoft downloads page but the tools I am not able to find. I can not install WebMatrix because the tools are a prerequisite.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a CMS project using ASP.Net 3.5/Visual studio 2008.This is the first week of the project and I am working on the design of the system right now. Needless to say that this is my first project of this scale and I have no idea of what I am doing.
The requirements of the project ask for a light but functional CMS, one which is easy to deploy.So the question is which database to use in this scenario SQLCE or SQLite?
MSChart created a temp compact database ( ASPNET.MDF ).
This was on my personal laptop. I'm moving the project to another PC for a demo at work. But, my sa password is different now.
How do you login to this database? or can I run a utility to push the tables to sql server instead?
I keep getting the sa password fails message, because the laptop and work have different passwords.

I have just finished developing a website in ASP.NET 3.5 with database as SQL SERVER Express edition (Free one).
I am looking for a hosting provider who supports SQL SERVER Express Edition.
Most of the hosting provide RESTRICTS THE SIZE OF SQL SERVER DATABASE UPTO 200MB ONLY.
However I know that SQL SERVER Express edition can save data upto 2GB size.
tell me about a web-hosting provider who allows SQL SERVER Express edition of size 2GB ?
I am fine with shared hosting.
Quoted from http://blogs.msdn.com:
User Instances (also known as RANU) available with SQL Server Express Edition, are NOT RECOMMENDED for hosting environments.I have a server running Server 2008 R2 Web Edition with IIS 7.5 and Sql Server 2008 R2 Express installed.I have only 3 friends as my hosting clients. Each has a restricted Local User Account on the server.What is the drawback of using user instance in production environment?
Edit.Rather than considering the limitation in memory usage and database size that I know, let us consider the user instance only, why isn't it recommended?
