How to install ArcGIS Mobile 10 (Build 2475 )SDK with Visual Studio 2010

Hi all,

I had installed Visual studio 2010 , ArcGIS Desktop 10 and lastly Mobile 10 update (Build 2475). When I looked at the options available for installation mobile 10, there is no option for Mobile 10 SDK . How to get to the Mobile 10 SDK using visual Studio 2010 ?

From my understanding you can only use the Mobile 10 SDK with VS 2008 with SP1, not VS 2010.

I have both VS 2008 and VS 2010, I and I don't see any Mobile SDK in VS 2010, plus it has be documented that you should be using VS 2008 for Mobile 10 SDK.

I personally use VS 2008 SP1 for development of the mobile 10 application while my co-worker uses VS 2010 for a web mapping application.

I know with the WPF controls you can program in VS 10. You just have to declare the controls in the xaml tag.

<my:Map Name="map1" xmlns:my="clr-namespace:ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.WPF;assembly=ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile" />

I have not tried with Win Form controls but I image you could just go to the <name of page>.Designer.vb - for vb or <name of page>.designer.cs - for cs. and declare them manually in there as long as you have the libraries referenced in your application.

vb snippet
Me.mapControl = New ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.Map
Me.MobileCache1 = New ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.MobileServices.MobileCache(Me.components)
        Me.MobileServiceConnection1 = New ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.MobileServices.MobileServiceConnection(Me.components)

I know it's a pain but hopefully this will be fixed with first service pack.
