Visual Studio Extension

Release

Download the latest version of the Visual Studio extension (for both 3.5, 4.0 and SQLite) from Visual Studio MarketPlace

Or just install from Tools, Extensions and Updates in Visual Studio!

Daily build

You can download the daily build from VSIX Gallery.

You can also automatically get the latest build of the Master branch directly in Visual Studio

If you need the Visual Studio 2010 extension, please contact me, and I can provide a link!

SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 21

Once installed, you find the extension under the View menu in SSMS, and from the context menu of a database in Object Explorer.

Daily build

You can download the daily build of the SSMS 21 extension from VSIX Gallery

Make sure to "Unblock" the downloaded file before proceeding!

Installing the SSMS 21 extension

Since SSMS extensions are unsupported, you must to manually install this extension version (at least until I or someone else decides to create an installer)

From an administrator command prompt:

Create a folder called SqlCeToolbox in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 21\Preview\Common7\IDE\Extensions folder.

Copy the extension.vsix that you downloaded from VSIX Gallery to the new folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 21\Preview\Common7\IDE\Extensions\SqlCeToolbox.

Unzip the extension.vsix to the new folder. For example: "C:\program files\7-zip\7z.exe" e extension.vsix -y

You should now have 36 items in the SqlCeToolbox folder, and the extension is "installed".
