Visual Studio 2010 SP1(BETA) and SQL CE

Visual Studio 2010 SP1 BETA
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 BETA is out. The service pack rocks. There are so many bug fixes for web, Javascript, HTML and others.


Beware that it is a Beta service pack. Service pack means that some bugs are fixed and than beta means that some *new bugs* but still i suggest that you download it and give it a try. I have installed it and I like it.

Those of you who have not already downloaded it, hurry up and download it from here
This is the web setup but alternatively you can download the ISO file also by clicking here

SQL CE
SQL CE is a free, embedded, database engine that enables easy database storage.

Feature list:
No installation required: You wont have to install the server on the client machine to run the database.
It works with old APIs. You can use LINQ, ADO.net or entity framework.
It is very easy to migrate to SQL server: When you will be having too much data then you will have to migrate to SQL Server.
The best part is that it is free.

You can download SQL CE by clicking here
*NOTE: Please note that the SQL CE will only run on Visual Studio 2010 SP1 so first download Visual Studio 2010 SP1 beta and then install SQL CE.
