How can I use SQL Server CE for my ASP.net MVC membership/authorization project?

Question

I'm wondering if I can use SQL Server CE instead of SQL Server Express+ as my database for my membership? Is this possible? If so, how can I do it?

Answer 1

You can use SQL CE with ASP.net Membership, Role and Profile provider. Check this codeplex site for providers and config sample.

EDIT: Microsoft supplied Universal Provider has been released. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingSystemWebProvidersASPNETUniversalProvidersForSessionMembershipRolesAndUserProfileOnSQLCompactAndSQLAzure.aspx
