Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 is a free, embedded database that software developers can use for building ASP.NET websites and Windows desktop applications. SQL Server Compact 4.0 has a small footprint and supports private deployment of its binaries within the application folder, easy application development in Visual Studio and WebMatrix, and seamless migration of schema and data to SQL Server. SQL Metal OSUI is a custom user interface for sqlmetal.exe command line tool. SQL Metal OSUI is an easy way to create LINQ to SQL items for SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases. Using SQL Metal OSUI you can create dbml, code and map files for both SQL Server and SQL Server Compact with some options (all options are not yet included).

I want to use a database in my C# program but I don't want other users who want to use my program to have to install a big volume software like Microsoft SQL Server that is more than 2 GB. So, can I use
.sdf
database (SQL Server Compact 3.5) without Microsoft SQL Server? When I give my published software to anyone with a normal Windows 7 OS (that most probably does not have Microsoft sql server installed) he should be able to use my software without any requirements. My program is really simple, but involves saving data in a database.

Try the site below, I've found it useful in the past. The subjects referenced there are still valid under Visual Studio 2008 / SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5.
