Question

I'm developing a Windows CE Mobile Application and using SQL Server Compact Edition as database server. However, I cannot drag and drop database tables from Server Explorer to a form's design view. It simply doesn't respond the drop. What could I be missing? I reinstalled and repaired everything. One note that I was able to do this operation a while ago. I also tried creating another database file and dropping tables of the famous Northwind.sdf.

Another thing is: I cannot generate a new data source within my project. When I try that the following error appears:

An error occurred while creating the new data source: An error occured while generating the data source.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The problem couldn't be solved any of the suggested operations, but the following one.

Start the Visual Studio from the command line:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /resetskippkgs

And everything works just fine.
