What is the latest version of SQL Server CE? And what is the download link? I Googled and the link I got there is not working. I would prefer a stand alone installation and not part of Webmatrix. Is this possible?
I would like to use it for my testing in ASP.NET MVC 3.
I know this is not a programming question :)
Abe has linked to SQL Server CE 3.5 which is probably your best stable choice. However 4 is now out (ScottGu blog) and you can download it from here
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0
or through WebMatrix - although the VS2010 tooling is in the service pack which is still in beta.

I'm currently creating a solution for a software that were developed in 2005 and beside using some more modern technologies, the company wants to keep supports of the old windows embedded compact edition based phones until they can replace everything.
I tried using ErikEJ's Export2SQLCE and SqlCEcmd command tools and thought I found the solution, until I realised the older application is using SQL Server CE version 3.0, whereas ErikEJ's can only convert to 3.5 or 4.
Is there any way to convert an existing SQL Server table into SQL Server CE version 3.0?
If not, is there any way to connect into a SQL Server CE file (.sdf) from a nodejs server and send queries?
Thanks!
We have an ASP.Net website running under the 4.0 framework in IIS 7.5 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. A portion of the web site functionality utilizes WCF and has a "standardEndpoints" section in the web.config.
The website works fine and everything works fine if we want to use the IIS Management Console GUI to do things.
We would like to use powershell to make changes to the web.site but when we run "Set-WebConfigurationProperty" an error is generated indicating that the "standardEndpoints" section of the web.config can't be processed.
The hotfix referenced here is not the solution. The website works, the hotfix appears to be only for Server 2008 (not R2), and when you try to install it, it says "not applicable for this server".
We did discover by running $PSVersionTable that PowerShell was referencing version 2.0 of the CLR. We installed Powershell 3.0 and now Powershell is referencing version 4.0 of the CLR but the problem persists.
We are looking to see if there is a simple solution to this. I suspect we may not have the right version of the IIS management script dll but can't find a different one to use. If the solution gets to complicated, we will just wipe the server and start from scratch.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John
With Silverlight 4 we get access to COM and with SQL CE 4.0 we get Entity Framework and nice little database server. I have a need for a standalone application (executing from a external jump drive) on a Windows machine without having to install any software. The requirement is that we cannot install any software on the target machine.
My thoughts are to develop a Silverlight out of the browser application, with SQL CE binaries included (not clear on how to accomplish) and run the application from the jump drive.
Does the solution make sense?
I found some pretty good information from the following MSDN link MSDN Private vs Central deployment for SQL CE and from Erik Ejlkov blog Everything SQL Server Compact which is really good, however the solution assumes that SQL CE is installed on the local machine.
Thanks
I'm having problems setting up the database described in Apress's Pro Business Applications with Silverlight 4. I have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express which doesn't support Full Text Search, and I can't install the database from codeplex (AdventureWorks2008 OLTP) because it requires Full Text Search. The book suggests getting this exact version of SQL Server (Express and everything). I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way to install a database into SQL Server when a feature is not provided. Is there anything else I can do. I'm stuck for the time being.
Thanks.
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services supports full text searching - you probably don't have that version.

I am currently in the early stages of developing a couple web applications, I have not written any code yet as I am still just gathering requirements and scoping things out. I want to target ASP.Net 4.0 winforms as the platform for these apps but I want to make sure there are no glaring issues with this new version before I commit.
I understand that if I was porting an existing app from 2.0, 3.5 to 4.0 there may be issues but I am starting from scratch on these projects and plan to write these apps to support the new features of 4.0.
Should I wait for the first service pack to come out? Just seems like more work to start with 3.5 now only to go back through and tweak things for 4.0 in just a few months or even before I finish the app.
Our servers are Win 2K3 with IIS6 and MS SQL 2000, Should I expect any problems with VS 2010 and MS SQL 2000 in regards to Linq to SQL and EF?
Do it. I do the same at the moment. SQL 2000, though - is out of support. Even the bank I am sitting in at the moment is now replacing it with 2005 / 2008. I would seriously consider upgrades.
Web application? Using SPLA (only legal licensing for service providers - purchased licenses are not legal here) you get 2008R2 and SQL 2008 R2 anyway.
