I am trying to work with a WebMatrix project in VS2010 Pro SP1. Cannot see sdf files in server explorer. When I try to make a connection to a SQL CE 4.0 fsdf file, I click on the Browse button and no files show up for SQL CE 4.0 browsing.
I have installed (at least I think I have) the toolbox add-in, (clicking on the vsix file tells me it is "installed in all products", but it does not appear in the "Manage Add-Ins" in VS2010 PRO SP1.
I am very much a newby in the VS world. I would really prefer to manage my WebMatrix products in VS (great intellisense and debugging support). However, it is frustrating because I cannot do anything with the data. I have to go into Visual Web Developer Express to see the data and play with the schemae, etc.
What am I doing wrong here?

OK - the secret was that I needed to stay completely out of server explorer and go to the toolbox. To add a connection, I had to right click on the root element of the toolbox.
Now I have it and I like it. Thanks, Erik
