Using Fluent NHibernate and MsSqlCeConfiguration, I wanted to use an SQL Compact DB for my Database by changing the FluentConfiguration but I started getting the errors from the InnerException.

"Could not create the driver from NHibernate.Driver.SqlServerCeDriver"

The fix is simples,

You need to add a reference to

"System.Data.SqlServerCe"

Located in

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Desktop\System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll"

If you don't have it, you'll need to install it from.

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/compact-downloads.aspx

Once you've added it you need to set the

"Copy Local" to true.

Then you should be good to go.
