Question

I'm using Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop. I've just added an empty database (.sdf) with a model (.edmx). I've filled the model and hit the Generate Database From Model. That added a Model1.edmx.sqlce.

How can I run this file against my database? It displays as plain text...

Solution

Use Sql Server Compact Toolbox. Can be downloaded on CodePlex.

OTHER TIPS

I think, Visual Studio Express version doesn't rocognise .sqlce (SQL Compact Edition) files. You need Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
