How to use SqlCE 3.5 with in Visual Studio 2005?

Dear All,

I have downloaded Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.NET CTP from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=75FEF59F-1B5E-49BC-A21A-9EF4F34DE6FC&displaylang=en

This download package contains the SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 and I have installed the same. Before that I was having SqlCE 3.1 and able to work with that fine from C# application on Desktop.

After installing the new one I could see V3.1 and V3.5 folders at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\. But when I tried to create a new data connection from Visual Studio 2005, it directly making use of V3.1.

Does anybody know how to make use of this newer version in my C# application with in Visual Studio 2005 and also enabling the same in SQL Server Management Studio?

It’s an urgent requirement for me; please do spend couple of minutes in providing the solution for this.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Can some one help me if you have a solution for the above one|||

The development environment for SQL Server Compact 3.5 is Visual Studio 2008 Beta 1. The Beta is available for download at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa700831.aspx

Visual Studio 2008 Beta 1 can be installed side-by-side with Visual Studio 2005 SP1. Visual Studio 2008 Beta 1 also installs SQL Server Compact 3.5. Prior to installing Visual Studio 2008 Beta 1 uninstall SQL Server Compact 3.5 Beta.

Regards
