Question

I’ve created a DB file in a project Add -> New Item -> Local Database and created a table for it.

Now I would like to create a connection string for it in app.config.

The problem is that all example code that I find uses code only to create a connection, and not app.config. Hence I can’t figure out which providerName I should use.

So what is it?

<add name="DemoDb" providerName="XXXXXX" connectionString="Data Source=ExampleDb.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;"/>

System.Data.SqlServerCE.4.0 or System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5 depending framework version
