Parameters

    The connection string to the destination database.

Remarks

The connection string specifies a connection to the destination database that will be created by this method.

If you pass an empty string for the connection string, the new database file overwrites the old database file and maintains the same name.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to compact a SQL Server Compact Edition database.

Dim engine As New SqlCeEngine("Data Source = AdventureWorks.sdf")

' Specify null destination connection string for in-place compaction
'
engine.Compact(Nothing)

' Specify connection string for new database options; The following 
' tokens are valid:
'      - Password
'      - LCID
'      - Encrypt
' 
' All other SqlCeConnection.ConnectionString tokens are ignored
'
engine.Compact("Data Source=; Password =a@3!7f$dQ;")

SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine("Data Source = AdventureWorks.sdf");

// Specify null destination connection string for in-place compaction
//
engine.Compact(null);

// Specify connection string for new database options; The following 
// tokens are valid:
//      - Password
//      - LCID
//      - Encrypt
// 
// All other SqlCeConnection.ConnectionString tokens are ignored
