I'm trying to change my VS 2008 project's Platform Target from "Any CPU" to x86. However, on the Build screen under the project's options, the Platform Target dropdown ONLY contains "Any CPU".
I'm developing an app targeting a mobile device and using SQL CE 3.5 and as far as I can tell it won't work unless I can set the target to x86 - it's giving me a "provider not found" error when adding an sdf file to the project. I had to add a reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe manually and that didn't help.
Also, if I try to add a typed DataSet to the project, I get the following error:
Custom tool error: Failed to generate code. Object reference not set to an instance of an object
