ESENT looks... interesting. Sounds similar to Isolated storage. (the key'd value part of it anyhow) No, quite different. Isolated Storage is just a piece of the file system. ESENT is a complete ISAM database. The C API is quite low-level an

Re: Databases for Local apps

Yeah I remember you talking about it. If you are still using it then it must be good. I don't recall any frustrated ranting from you about it so it must be pretty good. (still talking to me now?) Oh, and I second your vote to change it to "Documentation" award. Alternatively we could assign you "b

Stephen (I'm still talking to you) Remember my posts on this in the last year? I am quite happy with SQL CE as it's got the complete familiar feel of the full SQL (without sprocs and stuff), but you have to live with a 3MB install footprint for the prerequisite. You can probably make the app in

Damn, I keep hitting reply and replying just to the sender, not the list. It never used to do that. reply used to send to the list. Anyway, dragging and dropping a datasource table from the Data Sources pane onto the Xaml designer does nothing. No errors. No output in the output window. Nada. Trie
