I am trying to do a sql server compact 4 data connection with visual studo 2010 express but I have seen that it is not listed under data connection. Also SQL server compact toolbox here: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0e313dfd-be80-4afb-b5e9-6e74d369f7a1 when I try to install its says it is not compatible with this version of visual studio (2010 express) so Is there a way to do a data connection to a sql server compact 4? Also servers browsers does not appear in visual studio 2010 express. I want to use and embedded sql server compact in my asp.net mvc4 web application without the need to install any sql server in the machine.
I know that with visual studio 2010 ultimate it is possible, sql server compact 4 data connection can be done and servers browser also appear under view menu. Also I am not sure if with other versions of visual studio 2010,p.e, professional it can be done as well or only with the ultimate.
In conclusion, I want to use sql server compact data connection with my visuals studio 2010 express, is it possible?
