Which SDK has SQL Client for Windows Mobile?

Question

I have about 3 old Windows Mobile 5 projects that connect to our SQL Server database using the System.Data.SqlClient namespace.

Recently, I had to upgrade my instance of SQL for my local machine to include Integration Services. It took several tries to install it, with all of them failing. Finally, I simply removed all of the SQL programs from this PC, and installed SQL Server 2008 with Integration Services. (I would not wish that on anyone)

Now, it seems that my copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional has lost the System.Data.SqlClient package.

Currently, I have the following SDKs installed:

• Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC
• Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh
• Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Developer Tool Kit

Still, SQL Client is not found in my list of references, so I can't just add it.

What do I still need to do?
