I have two table both with a column named TypeID.

Paths <-table
TypeID (int, 4, primary key = no, identity = false)

Types <-table
TypeID (int, 4, primary key = yes, identity = true)

This is a SQL compact DB that I'm editing through Visual Studio. When I try and make a relationship between the two tables via the TypeID columns I get the following error.

"Add Relation failed. Parent Columns and Child Columns don't have type-matching columns."

Both are int with length 4, what could be causing this error?

I don't have too much to offer here but since no one else is chiming in -
Perhaps VS's schema is out of sync with the actual database or maybe pointing to a different db instance?

But being a long term sql server developer I only use Management Studio for this. For instance to create this "relationship" I would use a query window to issue this command: 

alter table Paths add constraint FK_Paths_Types foreign key (TypeID) references Types (TypeID)

Can Sql Compact be used in SSMS?

I think it might be due to identity column. Do you have some value in child table(Primary Key) which doesn't exist in Parent table?
