How can a SQL Server CE database be simultaneously connectable and un-?
I have a SQL Server CE database in my Windows CE app. I can see it (HHS.sdf) in my project in Server Explorer: ...but the Columns folders for the tables won't expand; clicking them gives me: The path property for HHS.sdf reads: Data Source=Mobile Device\Program Files\hhs\HHS.sdf If the path is not valid, why is Server Explorer showing me the database at all? If I create a new connection in Server Explorer (by selecting "Add Connection..." from the Data Connections context menu), I can navigate to the .SDF file on the device (\Program Files\hhs), test the connection in the "Add Connection"
