Where can I download a standalone installer for SQL CE 4.0 SDK / template to be used within Visual Studio 2010 > Project > Add Item?
I tried http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17876 but it appears to be the runtime only.
I have also downloaded VS 2010 SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=23691 still no go. The about dialog version says SP1Rel.
See my blog post here for a direct link to the VS 2010 SP1 Tools for SQLCE 4.0 - http://erikej.blogspot.com/2011/01/sql-server-compact-40-released.html - keep in mind that the tooling is only avilable for Web project types.

I have some compatibility problems with vs 2010 file opened in vs 2013, i have read that maybe i can solve it activating the option "upgrade project automaticcaly" but i can't find it. Where i can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
EDIT
I can't launch the project ,i have tried in VS2010 Express , VS2012 Express , VS2013 Express... It seems so strange, it's an official demo of kinect sdk.
EDIT
Suddenly it starts work on visual studio 2010
It's not a project upgrade issue but the sounds of that error message - VS2013 Express doesn't support the project type you are trying to open.
The following page describes the s/w requirements for use that project
Kinect or Windows SDK
Specifically the s/w dev requirements are:
Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012. The free Express editions can be downloaded from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express.
.NET Framework 4 (installed with Visual Studio 2010), or .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with Visual Studio 2012).
There are a lot of other requirements also listed on that page.
I would suggest you download VS2012 Express (its free) and work from there.
I have installed Microsoft Enterprise Library 4.1. Now, I want to edit app.config file from right clicking and selecting "Edit Enterprise Library Configuration". However, I couldn't see this option. I think, Enterprise Library is not integrated with my Visual Studio 2010.
How can I fix that? Any suggestions?
Thanks
According to the overview at Enterprise Library 4.1 download page, only Visual Studio 2008 and 2008 SP1 are supported. You can still launch the configuration editor from your start menu and open the file manually, or you can upgrade to Enterprise Library 5.0 which does support Visual Studio 2010.
I have a wonderful solution in Visual Studio 2012 with a Web project using WebAPI and a supporting Web Service project for data using Entity Framework (EF) Code First. I was just told I need to see about using Visual Studio 2010.
Is there something I can do to work on this project in Visual Studio 2010?
As Henrick answers: you do not upgrade/downgrade VS installs, rather you install versions side by side.
You note two technologies that might be problematic:
EF Code First: this is supported from 4.1 (or was it 4.2?) which is supported against .NET 4.0 and VS2010. Providing your not using enum or geo/spatial data types (which require .NET 4.5) this should work, but you'll need to ensure you update to the EF5 NuGet package for .NET 4.
WebAPI: This is new in MVC4, which comes with VS2012, but is a separate install for .NET 4/VS2010.
Finally. While some project types with round trip between VS2012 and VS2010 SP1 (you need the service pack) it is not true for all project types. Details are on MSDN.
You can install Visual Studio 2010 separately and open the project and see. There is no danger in having version 2005, 2008, 2010 or 2012 of Visual Studio installed.
I created a SilverLight solution in Visual Web Developer Express 2010. Now, my system got installed with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. On opening the existing express solution, I got the below error:
Unable to open project. An update to Microsoft Visual Studio is required to support the targeted version of SilverLight. Download the update at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkId=168436
It takes to install the add-on Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010. My question is 'Why itz not part and parcel of professional edition?'
If I recall correctly, the silverlight tools for VS2010 were released very shortly after VS2010 went RTM. Silverlight is a separate technology that isn't dependent on Visual Studio. It's developed by a different group and they have separate release schedules.
Is there a way to change .NET framework version of Visual Studio 2005 to 3.5?
No. Visual Studio 2005 only supports .NET 2.0 out-of-the-box. It can be updated to support .NET 3.0.
It is possible to compile .NET 3.5 code with a Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition, or without Visual Studio 2008 using Mono and I think the Windows/.NET SDK. However these will obviously not be integrated into Visual Studio 2005.
Visual Studio 2005 only supports .NET 2.0. The format of the solution file (.sln) changed in Visual Studio 2008 to allow you to select the target .NET version.
VS2008/2010 have a visual way of setting the project setting "TargetFrameworkVersion" which makes it easier, however I have found that adding the same tag to a VS2005 project will change the target framework. You might try adding 1(one) of the following into the section of your VS C# project.
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
