You can open an SDF file with several programs, including Microsoft Visual Studio and LINQPad. To open an SDF file with Visual Studio, select View → Server Explorer → Data Connections → Add Connection..., change the data source to "Microsoft SQL Server Compact," click Browse..., and select the SDF file.
Replace database. sdf with the path to the database you want to convert. The file output. zip will contain a CSV file, one for each table in the given database file.
The Spatial Data File (SDF) is a single-user geodatabase file format developed by Autodesk. The file format is the native spatial data storage format for Autodesk GIS programs MapGuide and AutoCAD Map 3D.
I've installed SQL Compact 4.0 CTP 2 via WPI and used NUPack to add SQLCE.EntityFramework in my project. It compiles and run perfectly but I can't open the SDF file in Visual Studio 2010's Server Explorer.
When I try I always receive the following message:
I've already tried to uninstall and reinstall everything.
It cannot be opened in SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio also.
