Error connecting to .sdf database

Dear All,

I am trying to connect to a .sdf database. I am building a console application. First I got an error "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)". Then I manage to solve "Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme30.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)". So wat is the possible error on my side ?

Is it not amazing. I have been searching the forums for a solution to this specific problem for weeks now and everyone that answers has no idea what it is we are requesting. you get redirected to a thousand other sites that still can not answer this question. I dont think anyone knows how to solve this!

Which version of the product are you using?

Checking the basics first: Is the product installed on your machine ( check in Add and remove programs).Also check that the System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll is in GAC (C:\windows\assembly).

If your installation was correct, then sqlceme30.dll (and other dlls) should be loaded automatically using some registry settings.

Btw, did you try reinstalling the runtime package on your machine?
