C# - Export SQL Server CE .sdf file

joshrduncan2012 asked:

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to use the SaveFileDialog in Visual Studio 2012 to allow the user to save a .sdf file anywhere they want to? That's what I mean by "exporting" the .sdf file out of the project location (or installed directory) when the program is installed on an end-user's computer. Or is savefiledialog only limited to text-based files.

We are making an administrative side of the 1st part of the project that I began on and the reason for needing to export the .sdf file so the administrators can upload the .sdf file so the 1st part of the project can detect changes and download the .sdf file automatically and update the database.
