Hi Shree,

I think Visual Studio 2010 SP1 is compatible with SQL CE 3.5 SP2.

Open the File menu, point to Open, and click Project/Solution. The Open Project dialog box appears. In the Open Project dialog box, click the solution (.sln file) or the database project (.dbproj file) that you want to open.

If you could not open Visual Studio database project, please post the error messages for further investigation. In addition, you could post the thread in Visual Studio Forum, you would receive better and quicker support.

Thanks,
Maggie
