Remarks

SQL Server Compact 3.5 is not currently optimized to serve as a database for Web sites. By default, connections from ASP.NET-connected applications are blocked in SQL Server Everywhere Edition. SQL Server Everywhere Edition is optimized for use as an embedded database within applications. Using SQL Server Compact 3.5 as a database for Web sites requires support for multiple users and concurrent data changes. This can cause performance problems. Therefore, these scenarios are not supported. Other editions of SQL Server 2005, including SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, are optimized to serve as a database for Web sites.

SQL Server Compact 3.5 can be used with ASP.NET in application scenarios where ASP.NET is used to create SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases for synchronization scenarios. Use the following code to change the default behavior of Everywhere Edition to work within ASP.NET.

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("SQLServerEverywhereUnderWebHosting", true)

Examples

The following sample demonstrates how to create a new SQL Server Everywhere Edition database.
