SQL Compact Edition

=?Utf-8?B?TllXR1VZNTQ=?=

is there a way to inspect the version of a SQL Server Compact edition
database (*.sdf) before i try to open it. I want to do this so that i can
give the user the option to udgrade it or choose another DB to open.
Thanks
Gary

Not sure.

Most files have header information that you can read with a reader. I used
this technique years ago on a program that had to rip images out of an IBM
formatted stream where there was no image information.
