I'm using VS 2008 and I'm trying to create a report. I selected Report Wizard which took me to the Data Source Configuration Wizard. I chose the data source and tested the connection. It asks me if I want to save the connection string. Next in the Choose Your
Database Objects pane is shows the following message:

An error occured while retrieving the information from the database. The type initializer for
 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataDesign.SyncDesigner.SyncFacade.SyncTableConfigManager' threw and exception. 

I Googled it an there is little info. The sites I found speak about uninstalling Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5, which I don't have
installed.

So, since my VS 2008 doesn't have Crystal Reports (see my other thread on this), and this isn't working, I basically have no reporting
tools available to me right now.
