You've got a few options when using the CF:
(1) SQL Server CE
(2) Pocket Access (requires a third-party wrapper
http://www.inthehand.com/index.php?page=5&show=1,2)
(3) DB2 Everyplace
(http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/db2/everyplace/sdk.html)
(4) ... and there might be more that I'm not aware of, but most people (IMO)
are using SQL Server CE because it's "exposed" through a data provider
directly through the CF.

The best is a matter of opinion, and I guess really depends on your needs
for the application. You might want to look into storing information in a
flat file (csv file format) or an XML file if you don't have an extensive
amount of data.

The original thread was about the .Net Compact Framework, but since you
asked you can find out information about gaining access to XML using eVB
here:
http://www.devbuzz.com/content/zinc_evb_xml_pg1.asp

Devbuzz is a very useful site for eVB devs. If you haven't been there
before, browse through the articles section and you might get more help on
other topics as well.

I prefer to post to the newsgroup so that others can see the answer to the
question as opposed to sending it directly through email.
