VS.Net 2008 Problem

Hi, I have an application which I develop using VS.Net 2005 and SqlCe Compact 2005 and now I am using VS.Net 2008 professional so when I open the applicalition in VS 2008 it converted to VS 2008 platform together with the Sqlce db but I can't connect to the db I get this error message (The databasefile has been created by an earlir version of Sql Server Compact please upgrade using SqlCe Engine.Upgrade() Method) and I can't figure how to go about it so I would be pleased if anyone could help. Thanx

I'm not certain about mobile, but VS2008 allows you to target earlier versions of the framework, so try targeting 2.0 unless you really need some of the newer functionality.

I have targeted the 2.0 framework but my problem is the db that I connect to wich has been converted to sql server compact 3.5 and the error says I should upgrade my engine which I have no idea.

Your database automatically gets upgraded to 3.5 - check out this video from Jim Wilson that explains it, and how to get around it
