I did include the System.Data.SqlServerCe
dll, put using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
in my code, but when I open the .NET page I get:
The type or namespace name 'SqlServerCe' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Data' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
I have nave no idea how to fix this. Thanks in advance.
This can be solved confirming following 2 points:
System.Data.SqlServerCe
namespace added to the References folder of your application. If its not there you may right click the References folder and select Add references option. From the popup window go to .Net tab and select System.Data.SqlServerCe
from the list and click OK to add the namespace to the project.using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
to the top of your code behind file which uses the System.Data.SqlServerCe namespace.If you have an existing reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe
yet you see a yellow symbol next to it then you should:
To Re-Add: Right click the References folder and select Add Reference... option. Go to the Assemblies | Framework option on the left pane, then scroll to System.Data.SqlServerCe
in the right pane. If it's there, click it then be sure to check the checkbox next to it before clicking OK.
If System.Data.SqlServerCe
is not in the list then you're going to have to browse for it on your computer. To do that, click the Add Reference... dialog's Browse... button and try looking in this folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL server Compact edition\v3.5\Desktop
or
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL server Compact edition\v4.0\Desktop
(The v#.# value in the examples above might be different by the time you read this, so navigate first to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL server Compact edition\
then choose the latest version or a specific version if you know what that should be.)
Once you find it by browsing, select the System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
file and OK your way out then try recompiling.
