Abstract
The promise of XML has been, among other things, the ability to store data in just about any format you need; but, as you may have suspected, you have a somewhat limited range of choices for data storage in the .NET Compact Framework. Your choices? SQL Server CE, custom data files, text files, or XML files. We spent the last three chapters discussing SQL Server CE, and that might be your best option based on the business model that you’re working under. However, there are situations in which you might not want to use SQL Server CE, even in its disconnected mode. In that case, you’re pretty much reduced to using either your own data file format or XML files to store your data.
