problem with sql server compact 3.5 and smart device project

Recently i downloaded SQLServer Compact 3.5 from Microsoft web site, and i have already installed Visual Studio 2008. When i make a new Smart Device project and try to connect some Dataset to local database, the following error rises : "Error 1 Custom tool error: This operation requires a reference to SQL Server Compact 3.5. The project has a reference to a different version. Update the reference and try again."

i tried reinstalling Visual Studio 2008, but it did not work.

I had the same problem after update SQL server compact 3.5 to SP2.

The solution is to uninstall SP2 and install version without Service Pack and re-add the reference to SQL CE in project

Delete the existing project reference to SQL CE, close the project, re-open the project and re-add the reference.
