What does "web enabled" mean? SQL Server CE 4.0, you deploy the DLL with your app, that's it, no configuration, no setup required. "WebMatrix" not needed.

- Encosia 16y agoThe version of SQL Server CE bundled with WebMatrix is the first version of SQL Server CE that will run on a web server. Older versions were good for things like desktop apps, but were restricted from functioning in a server environment. WebMatrix definitely isn't needed to use it afterward (WebMatrix is just an IDE), but is the easiest (only?) way to get the new version of SQL Server CE right now.
- troygoode 16y agoWhat Encosia said is correct, but I wanted to add a link to ScottGu's announcement that explains in more detail: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/06/30/new-embedded-database-support-with-asp-net.aspx http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/06/30/new-embedd... This announcement moves SQL CE fully into the space where it actually competes with Vista DB (previously CE was primarily used only by desktop/mobile/embedded apps). I wonder if that has any bearing on the decision to kill off Vista DB?
