Other than not being able to use stored procedures, is there anything keeping the new framework from using SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 and WPF?

There should be absolutely no problem using SQL CE with CSLA .NET - you'll just need to write your data access methods to work with that database.

The only catch you may encounter, is that I don't think the Transactional attribute will work, because I don't think CE works with either EnterpriseServices or TransactionScope transactions.

Thanks Rocky. I was thinking along the same lines with the exception of transaction attributes. The forum has info on SQL CE with the compact framework and the limitations of them. But, I could not find any information about whether CSLA.Net could be used with SQL CE and with the framework 3.5. I appreciate all the time and hard work you have invested in the framework ever since your very first book.
