If I am using VB.Net 2005 with SQL Express or Developer edition and want to
embed the db into my project, how do I do that?

I can't find anything on embedding the db into a VB.Net 2005 app
anywhere.....

Take a look at SQLite .. it should meet your needs http://www.sqlite.org/

You can get managed providers for it here ...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/adodotnetsqlite

"Supports databases up to 2 terabytes (241 bytes) in size."  Holy crap!!
Awesome!  Makes MS SQL's 4GB look miniscule by comparison.

But, is it as easy to use in the IDE as MS SQL?

Never tried .. I generally use object persistence with it :)
