VistaDB 3.0 is the world's first fully managed and typesafe SQL database engine designed for the Microsoft .NET Framework, the Compact Framework, Mono, and Windows Vista. VistaDB enables .NET developers to build small yet robust fully managed WinForms and ASP.NET database applications that run on desktops, mobile devices and web servers.

Key features include Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL syntax compatibility, a small 600KB single-file fully managed assembly with built-in ADO.NET Data Provider, full Unicode support, robust and secure data store with support for rich data types, large data capacity, high-speed data processing, easy Copy 'n Go!™ deployment, royalty free distribution and much more.

As we finish up our EntitiySpaces 1.5.0 release we thought we would tell you about something coming up that we are very excited about. The EntitySpaces 1.6.0 release will be adding support for VistaDB 3.0. Soon, VistaDB customers will be able to, in a matter of minutes, generate a fully functional EntitySpaces object model on top of thier VistaDB database. This model will be fully hierarchical, support LINQ, Serialization, Transactions, WebServices, and provide them with a very powerful dynamic query syntax.  If you're a VistaDB fan keep your eye out for a very powerful EntitySpaces + VistaDB combination.
