In VS2010 sp1 with SSCE 4.0 tools for vs2010 sp1 installed, Adding a new ADO.net entity data model and generate model does not show SQL compact 4.0 even though i have the tools, sp1 installed, however, it works flawlessly in a web project where sql server compact 4 is listed as an option in the generate data model screen
there are numerous posts on workaround etc. but most are about 8+ months old
wondering if there’s any recent updates which makes it just work – i.e. create a ssce 4.0 ef model in vs2010 sp1 windows projects rather than go through the workarounds every time
There is no updates from Microsoft (other than VS 11), but my SQL Server Compact Toolbox add-in allows you to create an EDMX (ADO.NET Entity Data Model) in any desktop project type: http://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com
