SQL Server Compact Toolbox 3.0 preview post

New features:
- Extensive support for Sync Framework 2.1, including Provisioning, Deprovisioning, Code Generation, Local Database Cache Code Generation and Explorer tree integration - thanks to great effort from user JuneT
- Generate desktop LINQ to SQL classes both for 3.5 and 4.0 databases

Scripting API features and fixes:
- Tables are now ordered by topological sort when scripting entire database
- Data scripting now uses datareader (to avoid some OOM issues)
- date and datetime2 values are converted to datetime by default (Server scripting)
- .sql/.sqlce scripts with DGML no longer generated.
- Server based DGML now includes schema

- BUG: Duplicate Execution plans fixed

In the query result pane I want to select all results (Ctrl+A) and it becomes frozen and it takes time if you have many lines. You can notice that if you have more than 2000 lines.

Created Issue: SQLCEToolBox - Cant see DBs/connections in VS2010SP1 [10192]

May 21, 2012, 1:46 pm

I am trying to work with a WebMatrix project in VS2010 Pro SP1. Cannot see sdf files in server explorer. When I try to make a connection to a SQL CE 4.0 fsdf file, I click on the Browse button and no files show up for SQL CE 4.0 browsing.

I have installed (at least I think I have) the toolbox add-in, (clicking on the vsix file tells me it is "installed in all products", but it does not appear in the "Manage Add-Ins" in VS2010 PRO SP1.
I am very much a newby in the VS world. I would really prefer to manage my WebMatrix products in VS (great intellisense and debugging support). However, it is frustrating because I cannot do anything with the data. I have to go into Visual Web Developer Express to see the data and play with the schemae, etc.

What am I doing wrong here?

You have to install the VS tooling for SP1 in order to use Server Explorer - http://erikej.blogspot.com/2011/01/sql-server-compact-40-released.html - but the Toolbox can alos connect to 4.0 files, launcg the Toolbox from the Tools menu. Extensions are managed from the "Extension Manager" menu, not "Manage Add-ins"

I believe I have all the rperequisites installed.

From the Tools Menu, I can see the SQL 4.0 Toolbox. When I click on the toolbox I am told there are no connections and that I must go to Server Explorer and Set up a Connection.[POINT A (see below)]

In Server Explorer "Add Connection" I am able to select the data source as SQL 4.0 and am given the opportunity to browse for a file or create a new one. In either case, once I click on the button, nothing happens and I am back at the IDE with the SQL Ce toolbox still open amd the server explorer still showing but no hint of any dialogs concerning new or existing connections. Appears exactly as the IDE did at point "A" above.

It is as thoug the Server explorer authors began to develop the "Add Connection" Use Case for adding a SQL CE 4.,0 connection, but forgot to flesh out the code behind the "CRETE' and "BROWSE" buttons!

Obviously, I am doing something wrong here.

Curiously enough, I have Visual Web Developer Express SP1 installed and IT CAN handle SQL 4.0 DBs. However, VS 2010 SP1 PRO is responding as described above.

Check the about screen in the Toolbox. I am sure some required component is missing (you can add a screenshot to the issue here)
