      AFAIK, this is a SQL Server Database file that can be opened in Visual Studio. However, I'm not absolutely certain about either of these as I have not used these files myself.

        .sdf files are created by SQLServerCompact (and possibly othe SQLServer variants - I don't use them so I'm not sure). If you added a DataSource to the project or selelcted a DB project then it may have been automatically created for you.

          This is a SQL CE file and is created by Visual Studio. It contains information used internally to manage the projects within a solution.

          It's time for a new signature.

            Your question sparked my interest some more, and I just found this information[^].

            It's time for a new signature.
