SqlServerCE

[Andreas Roth]

I began some homebrewn projects with PocketPC and how I miss the ability to use MyGeneration on SqlServerCE. Since SQL Server 2005 the ADO.Net Namespace for SqlServerCE is available in the normal framework. So wouldn't support for this be a cool, additional feature?

Great suggestion!

Please add SQLServer CE to your list of supported providers for code generation.

Connecting to SqlServerCE to get meta-data from a non-CE applicaion was not possible in the past. The newer generation of drivers may, as you stated above, allow users to connect to a CE database from a win32 application. If that's the case, somebody can make a MyMeta plugin for it to add the support you desire. Mike had mentioned possibly doing that, but I have no plans on doing that in the near future. the advantage of the new plugin framework is that anyone can add MyMeta support for any database format they need.

I've been meaning to get to this. I will be creating a SQL CE MyMeta plugin, in fact, they have an OLEDB provider for SQL CE and that might already work with MyGeneration, I just gotta figure out where the driver is and register it, for some reason the installs for SQL CE doesn't seem to register the driver.

Any progress on this? As I understand it, the full release of SQL Server Compact as a free database for Windows desktop will be happening on January 15th, and I have a project starting then that I'd really like to use MyGeneration for if possible.

NHibernate (which I would also like to use) has confirmed that it has a driver for SQL CE.

Thanks.
