Create .mdf/.sdf database dynamically

Question

How can I with \"code\" create a new .mdf/.sdf database?

I\'ve tried this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307283

All it does is fail on the ConnectionString

Create .sdf database

using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
using System.IO;
  string folderPath="D:\\Compact_DB"
  string connectionString;
  string fileName =folderPath+"\\School.sdf";
  string password = "12345";

  if (File.Exists(fileName))
  {
    File.Delete(fileName);
  }

  connectionString = string.Format("DataSource=\"{0}\"; Password='{1}'",    fileName, password);
  SqlCeEngine obj_ceEngine = new SqlCeEngine(connectionString);
  obj_ceEngine.CreateDatabase();
