How to compile a VB.net project with microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 in Windows 10 - sql

I am new to SQL; I have a VB.net project that works fine with Microsoft SQL Server Compact v3.5 (and OleDB) on Windows 7, and I want to compile it on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2019.
When I tried to compile it on Windows 10, I get a lot of errors:
Null reference exception
in debug mode, and it freezes in release mode in the first window (sorry I can't add a code example because the project is too big).
I have seen that Microsoft SQL Server Compact v3.5 doesn't support Windows 10 (I'm not sure about this information) in this link : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5783
If it is true how can I make my project work in Windows 10? And thank you.

Is it possible to run vb.net on Window CE?

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 VB.NET to develop an application, and it is working fine in Window XP SP3. Is it possible to run this application on a mobile device with Window CE 6.0 ?
The application will not directly run on Windows CE, no. Since you're using Studio 2008, create a new Smart Device Project from the New Project wizard and import your existing code base.
Since you started with a desktop project, it's unlikely that the code will just compile as-is but, depending on exactly what features you're using, it's quite possible that you'll be able to modify what you have to compile for both the Compact Framework (CF) and the full framework.

Is it possible to build a metro interface app with Vb.net in Visual Studio 2005?

we've been asked to change a webapp we're making to metro interface, the thing is, we have only Visual Studio 2005, what should we do to be able to change our app to Metro?
You will need Visual Studio 2012 as far as I am aware. You can use the free Express Edition of Visual Studio 2012 for building Windows 8 Apps. You will also need to be running Windows 8. You cannot develop Windows 8 Apps on Windows 7, Vista, or any other OS version less than 8.
You can install the Express Edition of 2012 along side Visual Studio 2005 and have them run side-by-side, it doesn't replace 2005, so you can keep using it.
As far as doing it within visual studio 2005 I don't think it's possible. But what you would need is the Windows 8 SDK.
You may be able to get by with the open source IDE Sharp Develop. I haven't used it in a long time so I'm not sure how far you'll get with it.
Requirements for Developing windows 8 Application :-
1 -> Visual Studio 2012
2 -> Windows 8 Latest Version
3 -> Developer License.
Windows Store App Development
Once you are done with this remeber you need to meet certain criteria listed below
App certification and requirements
Now answer to your original question
with visual studio 2005 you wont be able to build the app as 1,2 are the basic requirements, hence forth once you start you can go through the links below to make ur app perfet for the windows store
Note : one bad news . Ull have to code entire thing again as metro is a subset of the win32 api's and it will not even recognize some of them .

Entity Framework Installation Fails & Crashes Visual Studio

I'm trying to install Entity Framework 5.0 into a Visual Studio 2012 Pro project. Part way through the install it fails and crashes Visual Studio. I suspect that it is trying to figure out which SQL server edition to use when it fails. I have SQL 2008 R2, SQL 2012 and SQL 2012 Localdb installed. No connection string gets added to the config file before it crashes. I've been searching the forums and trying many things but no luck yet. Any help would be appreciated. Same failure when using Visual Studio 2010 Pro.
I found that the EF installer can't handle multiple versions of SQL installed side by side. After removing all but one the program runs fine.

Can't run Contoso Javascript on Local Machine

I tried to run the Contoso project on my Visual Studio Express 2012 RC for Windows 8, it reports this error. How to fix it?
Exception was thrown but not handled in user code at line 183, column 5 in Function code
0x80070002 - JavaScript runtime error: The system cannot find the file specified.
If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.
Do you mean the Contoso Cookbook reference application for Windows 8 (available from here)? If so, you should be using Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 and not Visual Studio 2008. You will also need the Windows 8 operating system to run this.

will windows application created using visual studio 2008 will work on winXP with out .net framework

I have made a small windows application with visual studio 2008 ,its working properly with win 7,but when i tried it in an another machine which is running in win xp it showed error. I googled and found that,the win xp machine what i have used does not have a .net framework.My question is that is their any way to make an application using vb 2008 which can be run in win xp computers which doesnt have a .net framework (other than virutlalisation) or to incorporate .net framework in the application.
*I am sorry for asking this question,i know its "dumb" question but i am new to vb.net
Advance thanks
No. You must have to install the appropriate version of .net framework.
You can make .netframework 2.0 application using visual studio 2008. Select . net framework 2.0 on opening visual studio 2008. This application will work in windows xp without installing any . net framework.
