Downloadable Search Application (windows) using VB.NET

Hi-

I am working on a downloadable desktop application (windows) using
VB.NET which can search for data in a data file. I have used XML as a
data file before, are there any other better data file formats
available?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Prabhu

Hi,
Hi, you could try MDB (Access). You could also try other database server's though that would burden the user to also download the engine (MSDE maybe?). You may also like to look at FireBird. Its a lightweight database server that may suite your need...

Hi,

XML is free, but if it gets beyond a particular size, you will have issues.
Access or MSDE maybe a better idea.

The recently released SQL Server 2005 Express may also be a good idea.

Thank you, Vikram. I am expecting the new tool to go live in the month, so I am not sure about SQL Exp. 05, but will look into it.
