    I am trying to write a simple application for a Windows CE device that gets information from a database. Does Windows CE come with any sort of database or datafiles that I can use or would I need to install some database application on my CE device?

      Look for SQL Compact Edition 3.0 or 3.5 (still in Beta). It's a free relational database engine from Microsoft.

        I downloaded and installed "SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Tools for Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1" and now I cant seem to find out how to add the database. Any ideas?

          as far as I know abt compact edition it doesnt have any proper UI. U need to use it from ur VS IDE's Server Explorer. Make a connection to it and it should show up in that. Hope it helps u! Cheers
