This article descrives how to read and interpret the version number of the DesktopSqlCe DLL files. There are several options for using this product, but all of them require the dssce.dll file to be present either on the the application's startup directory or anywhere in the system DLL search path. If you look at this file's version information you will see something like:

1.0.60.41

Interpreting this version information is quite simple:

• 1.0.60 - Major version, minor version and build number. Taken together, they represent the version of the desktop code.
• .41 - Minor version number of the required RemSqlCe.dll file for the device. This helps you determine what is the required device DLL version.
