Suggestion on C# Express Local db without using services

I'm new in C# I have some experience with JAVA. In java I could use Derby or sqlite for local database without the need of installing additional services on the client computer. Is there a way to do this in c#? Note that I use VS2012 Express.

You can use SQL compact database, all you have to do is add a new item in your project and set the item to be a database file. It will create a default SQL compact DB for you with everything preset.

P.S SQL compact should be installed with your VS2012
