Given:

  • DLLs of SQL Server compact editions 3.5 and 4.0
  • Several read-only database files, some belong to 3.5 and some to 4.0

Is it possible to query these database files without uprading (the files are read-only)? I know there is such a thing as registration-free (aka side-by-side) COM, but I do not know the details.

Thanks.

    Yes, I do that in my VS add-in. I have implemented 3 projects (= 3 .NET DLL files), one is an Interface definition, second is an implementation against this interface referenceing 3.5 and third is an implementation referencing 4.0 – but maybe you can simply use my scripting API, it has methods to return query results also – http://exportsqlce.codeplex.com
