I have a .Net application which must store all it’s local data in isolated storage. I want to start using SQL CE to store this data. I can’t find any documentation on how (or even if) this is possible.
Is it possible to use isolated storage to store a SQL CE database?
If so, what would the connection string look like (or is there some other way you would need to open the database)?
It appears that SqlCe does not support isolated storage. See these questions.

What are the advantages of VistaDB
VistaDB looks like a better choice. Or, you could set up some kind of hack where you use the IS API to copy the SDF (SQlCe) file out of isolated storage to a location in the normal file system, where you can interact with it normally and then copy the SDF file back into IS. This pretty much defeats the purpose of isolated storage though, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
