I created my database on Sql Server 2008 (Feb 2008 CTP), added the entities in LLBL, selected "CF .NET 3.5" as the target platform (adapter), and generated the code. When I attempt to open either of the generated projects in Visual Studio 2008 Standard, I get the following error: "The project type is not supported by this installation." Also, I am using the LLBL 2.6 Demo.

Any ideas?

VS.NET 2008 standard ? Hmm... could you attach the csproj file (not the whole project, just the csproj file) being generated to a post in this thread?

I'm not sure if VS.NET 2008 standard supports CF.NET projects though, have to check...

Standard edition doesn't support mobile applications.

Thanks Walaa simple_smile

Then that's the reason. I already found it strange because generated cf.net 3.5 projects did load properly in vs.net 2008 team system.

ok, thanx, guys for your very prompt responses sunglasses will there be any samples for SQL Server Compact 3.5?

Currently, we are using LLBLGen Pro v1.0.??? with Sql Server Express. We have a .NET 2.0 app that uses LLBL to generate entities for our various tables, and it seems to work very well; What we would like to do is to get our .NET app to work with SQL Server Compact, as, according to Wikipedia, Compact can run on the desktop:

"Microsoft SQL Server Compact (SQL CE) is a compact relational database produced by Microsoft for applications that run on mobile devices and desktops"

Is this possible to do with LLBL, or will it only work for SQL Server Compact for mobile devices? If it is possible, could you please give me a rough idea of the steps I would need to create such a setup? (it appears, of course that I must at least upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 Pro).

      thanx again for all your help in advance :D

Please read SqlServer specific: SqlServer CE Desktop support

I.o.w.: just select for platform .NET 3.5, and you can use the code directly with Sqlserver CE desktop 3.5. simple_smile You don't need CF.NET, as you're not using the compact framework.
