NHibernate Tutorial Run-Time Error: HibernateException

Question

I'm a newbie at NHibernate so please go easy on me if I have asked a stupid question...

I am following the tutorial for NHibernate posted here and am getting a run-time error of type "HibernateException"

The code in question looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using FirstSolution;
using NHibernate.Cfg;
using NHibernate.Tool.hbm2ddl;
using NUnit.Framework;

namespace FirstSolution.Tests
{
    [TestFixture]
    public class GenerateSchema_Fixture
    {
        [Test]
        public void Can_generate_schema()
        {
            var cfg = new Configuration();
            cfg.Configure();
            cfg.AddAssembly(typeof(Product).Assembly);

            new SchemaExport(cfg).Execute(false, true, false);
        }
    }
}

The line I am getting the error at is:

cfg.AddAssembly(typeof(Product).Assembly);

The inner-most exception is:

The IDbCommand and IDbConnection implementation in the assembly System.Data.SqlServerCe could not be found

And here's my stack trace:

I've made sure that System.Data.SqlServerCe has been referenced and that its Copy Local property is set to True. The error persists, however. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Copied as answer from comments since it turns out to be the case:

Make sure you add the reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe and set CopyLocal=true on both the main project and test project.
