Connection string for the Northwind.sdf

Question

I am making a small Windows application using Visual Studio 2010 and SQL server compact edition 3.5. I want to access Northwind.sdf database in my application but I am unable to make the connection string.

I have copied the database in my application as well as in the debug folder as I am trying to run application in debug mode.
