The SQL Mobile Edition catalog item is in the Application and Services Development node, next to the SQL Server CE 2.0 catalog item. These catalog items are mutually exclusive. You cannot use items from the SQL Mobile Edition catalog and items from the SQL Server CE 2.0 catalog in the same project. If you want to develop SQL Server Mobile Edition applications, you must use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

The SQL Mobile Edition catalog item group contains the following items:
