LINQPad Requesting Custom Assembly

I read an article about using linqpad to open a SQL CE 4.0 database, which shows a "LINQPad Connection" screenshot where the "data context" is chosen automatically. But when I downloaded LINQPad, the "data context" portion of that same dialogue was replaced with a "Path to Custom Assembly," with no default. Anyone know what I should be searching for (it has a 'browse' option) to enable my connection? Why did this interface change occur?

If you select the the first option on the top half of the screen ie Default (Linq To Sql) then you don't need to specify the custom assembly.

If you read the comments in the article, Joe Albahari (who wrote LinqPad) mentioned this change.

Just click the SQL CE 4.0 provider button in the middle of this dialog, and point to the sdf file.
