Happy coding (and please let me know if your encounter any issue with this feature) With that in place, you have access to the exact same Entity Framework Tools features that you had in Visual Studio 2012. Notice that this UI does not let you create a new database file, but you can do that from the вЂњAdd ConnectionвЂ¦вЂќ dialog in the Toolbox. I needed to migrate the solution to VS2017. I have it that it supports VS 2017 and VS 2019. To connect via Server Explorer, select the вЂњSQL Server Compact 4.0 (Simple by ErikEJ)вЂќ data source, click continue, and all you normally would need to enter is the path to the database file: I finally managed to create a VSIX installer for the Firebird DDEX provider. The 4.0 DbProvider must be properly registered, use the About dialog in the Toolbox to confirm:ДЇinally, you can of course confirm the presence of the provider in the Server Explorer Choose Data Source dialog: The Simple DDEX provider must be registered (may require a VS restart after launching with version 3.7.1 the first time), you can verify via About dialog in Toolbox.

Visual Studio 2013 Pro or higher (it is not possible to add 3rd party DDEX providers to any Express edition, please correct me if I am wrong) (If you do not see the label at the bottom, but potentially a warning instead, one of the requirements for using the provider have not been fulfilled) Once the DDEX Provider has been installed, (which consists of placing the provider DLL on disk, and add a number of registry entries), you can add a connection to any SQL Server Compact 4.0 database from the Toolbox, and it will be added to Server Explorer: (Soon to be included directly in the EF Tools). So my вЂњsimpleвЂќ provider enables you to use the Entity Framework Tools, for example вЂњGenerate Model from DatabaseвЂќ, вЂњGenerate Database from ModelвЂќ, вЂњUpdate Model from DatabaseвЂќ and also the EF Power Tools Reverse engineer feature. The wizard lets users select which tables, views and stored procedures to include in the modelвЂќ. Quote from the included Word document: вЂњThus, the information shown in the wizard GUI comes directly from the EF provider.

are enumerated via code in the Entity Framework provider, not the DDEX provider. In particular the fact that the Entity Framework Tools does not get any information from the DDEX provider apart from the connection information, so all Tables, Columns etc. The latest release of my SQL Server Compact Toolbox, version 3.7.1, currently available in beta release from here, restores the Entity Framework Tools support for SQL Server Compact 4.0 by installing a simple DDEX provider.Дeveloping DDEX providers is a bit of a dark art, which has put me off even thinking about it, but a recent discussion on CodePlex drew my attention to the DDEX sample provider included with the Entity Framework source code. As described in my blog post here, Entity Framework Tools support for SQL Server Compact 4.0 in Visual Studio 2013 is broken, because SQL Server Compact is no longer supported by Server Explorer in VS 2013.
