SQL CE 3.5 - is not supported

[Borys]

Hi all,

I'm going to create a report on SQL CE 3.5 but telerik says:

The specified provider is not supported:
Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client.3.5

Not sure why, and what can I do with that?

Thank you.

P.S.
VS 2010, Telerik 4.1.10.921

Hi Borys,

In Q3 2010 we improved the SqlDataSource component, which now offers generic database support, so you would be able to bind to SQL CE. However MS SQL CE .NET provider does not support GetSchema() method that our SqlDataSouce component requires and you would not be able to use the Report Wizard and Data Explorer to create your report. Thus our suggestion is to use DataSet as an additional data layer and utilize the ObjectDataSource as elaborated in How to: Bind to a DataSet help article.

Kind regards,
Steve
the Telerik team
