SqlCeException Does Not Inherit From DbException

I'm in the middle of developing some database independent code and I am surprised to find that the SqlCeException inherits from System.Exception not DbException. The argument I have seen is that DbException does not exist in the CE framework which I understand but this clearly breaks the model laid out by the other assemblies in the data namespace.

My issue is that I have a library which accepts an object implementing the IDBCommand. The execute command is wrapped in a try catch which is only interested in a DbException and allows all other exceptions through which therefore will allow and SqlCeException through.

I have three options available to me:


Catch all exceptions - This is not acceptable as other exceptions need to bubble up to the calling code.

Explicitly catch an SqlCeException - This too is not acceptable as it is a common library and not every application wants a reference to the SqlCe assembly

Explicitly catch an SqlCeException outside of the method call - As hideous as it is this is the only viable solution available to me meaning that any calling code using an SqlCeCommand must be aware of this "feature".
If anyone else has a suggestion I am willing to listen otherwise I'm going to go back to banging my head against the wall.</rant>
