I have a development created using version 9 NET libraries and now I'm using it to access a version 10 SDE database.
It doesn't seem to work and it reports an error when trying to access the database. So my question here is whether I can use ESRI.ArcGIS.GeoDatabase library from version 9 SDK to access a version 10 SDE database.

Any help will be welcome.

In general, my understanding is that it will not be possible to access an SDE geodatabase at the ArcGIS 10.0 level from an ArcGIS 9 client application.

Please see the Help topic below.

Client and geodatabase compatibility
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//003n00000008000000.htm

One of the statements from that topic is:
"Previous releases of ArcGIS clients cannot connect to and use geodatabases created with later versions of ArcGIS."

  I hope this helps.
