  • Embedded .Net database solution

Hi geeks,
i want to know which is the best FREE Embedded .Net database solution.
my project is a small-size one.
Could you maybe provide some more explanation about what you want to do? What do you mean by "embedded"? I understand that to be microcontroller-related, is that what you mean?
my project is a vb.net windows forms application, this application is for a DVD shop, so the shop owner can enter all the DVD titles to a database through a GUI, and keep controlling of the quantity of each title.
so the user of this application not supposed to deal with a client/server database such as MySQL.
i want a simple solution to embed the database with the application.
there is a nice one called SQLite 3, but which is the best for a small-size application.
I would recommend you go with SQLite, it's a good choice for this sort of thing, and it's well documented.

Right click the project name in the Solution Explorer > Add > New Item > Select Data tab (on the left) > Local Database. This will create an SQL CE (Compact Edition) database file with .sdf file extension, which is exactly what you need.

Good luck!
thanks a lot Kassem, i will try your solution.
