    WPF and local databases

    Hi,
    I'm looking at building a windows app using WPF and it needs to have a local database.

    I initially thought i'd use SQL Server compact 4 (or 3.5) but i cant seem to get this to work (it seems 4 only works with web apps....is 3.5 the same?)

    Has anyone else built an application of this type?

    What would be the best type of database to use?

    thanks

    Re: WPF and local databases

    You could use sql express, free and fast.
    VB6 & C# (WCF LINQ) mostly

    Thanks for the replies.
    I initially didnt want to use SQL Express as i didnt want to have to sort out bundling the installation and setup with my application deployment, but have decided that this will probably be the best solution so I will have to learn how to install and set up SQL express from my setup.

    SQLite.....hmmmmmm, hadnt thought of that......might have to have a look.

    thanks again.
