Add Windows Phone DataContext to current Project... not working for CE 4.0

description

The context menu "Add Windows Phone DataContext to current Project..." is disabled when working with a CE 4.0 database.
A look at the source code reveals that this option is only implemented in the 3.5 version of the toolbox.

SQlmetal only works for 3.5 database files, and only 3.5 database files can be deployed to a Windows Phone. But I could enable this anyway, using a workaround, would that be of any use for a Phone developer?

At first I did not realize that Windows Phone works only with 3.5 database files and I could not understand why the context menu was disabled. Now it makes sense. Maybe clarify this in the documentation?
