File size limit / offline cache

Hi,

I have 2 questions:

Is there any way of getting around the 128MB file size limit when creating and adding SSEv databases to VS2005? Currently I get the following error when trying to connect to a database:"The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only...". This after I altered the app.config file to "...Max Database Size=600;..." Have anyone tried to use SSEv to cache data with the use of the Smart Application Offline Building Block? Is there a provider I can use for doing this?

Thanks in advance!

A SQLEv database can be up to 4GB in size. You control the maximum size of the database through the connection string. See the System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection MSDN documentation for details on this and other connection string parameters that you'll want to know about when working with large databases (e.g. Autoshrink threshold comes to mind)

Have a look at the new Mobile Client Software Factory published on MSDN - it includes an off-line app block for use with SQL Mobile and should be directly applicable to SQLEv.
