Persistence options for .NETCF

Question

What are some options for persisting data on .NET compact framework 3.5? So far I know about the following:

DB options:

• sqlce
• sqlite

Serialization/deserialization options

• protobuf.net
• json.net

Are there any more you could suggest (even good comercial products)? Which would you suggest and why (pros/cons)? Thanks!

Answer 1

You could look into db4o, they have an open source version to try, and it supports Compact Framework as well as full framework.

They've actually did a great work porting Mono.Cecil and System.Linq.Expressions to .NETCF for their product to work, so you get those as a bonus.
