There are currently no built-in tools in Visual Studio for working with SQL Server Compact 4.0 database files. (they will come with Vs2010 SP1). You can use my Visual Studio add-in http://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com or one of the other tools listed here: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2009/04/sql-compact-3rd-party-tools.html

You can download sql ce through web api just follow this link

visual-studio-tools-for-sql-serverl

Please check above link.
