SQL Server Compact Edition, what's fun about that?
Having SQL Server like capability without the pain of installing SQL Server? Having a solid and supported upgrade path from a local data store to a central shared SQL Server? Having supported multithreaded data storage you can now, with v4, use in your web app? Entity Framework support included in the box? Xcopy deployment of your data and data store? It's free?
Now what about a project that adds a number of tools to Visual Studio that makes using SQL Server Compact 3.5 & 4 even more fun! And what if you could also get the source to that project?
