I am looking for programs which allows you to view a sql database in a GUI created with C#. The benefits of this would be you could create shortcuts to tables an ease of use for companies. However I can't seem to find anything on the internet about companies using a C# program to view databases.
Have anyone used a program which does this?
Is there a direction someone could point me in?
Many thanks.
You don't need to program anything. You have several options:
SQL Server Management Studio aka SSMS (Even SQL Server Express has it)
Visual Studio has a Server Explorer (Menu View\Server Explorer)
I think that option 1 or 2 is more than enough for you. If you want other alternatives you have LinqPad or Versabanq Squel. Check this question for alternatives.

I have to develop a mini application, but need to create database, i did't want to use sql, access or oracle because i just need 4 tables data. What is the best option for database storage? Desktop application.
Mongo db is a very light weight, very easy no-sql database, which is rather easy to learn and work with. It does require an instance running, I didn't check if you can have it embedded in your application but wouldn't be surprised if it's possible.
Check it out.
If you don't need SP's and you only need relational data (and not dealing with installation and dependency overhead) then you just reference SQL Server CE.
It's an embedded database and if you run C# it means that the Framework is there, and probably the SQL Server CE too, otherwise the install is very lightweight and can be included in your installer
Sqlite if you need relations and queries, ESENT if you don't.

I'm working with C# and I want to develop desktop application that use a database. The final purpose is to embed my database file so I can instal the application in every single computer.
My questions are :
Is Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition a viable solution for embedded database?
How to use it?
Can you give me some tutorials to deal with it?
Thank you, I'll really appreciate your answers.
"Yes"
Why? Because, like any good "embedded database", it doesn't require a separate installation. In addition, but not absolutely required, SQL Server CE runs in-process.
Other alternative include SQLite and Firebird (and many more); so the question is then, which database is right for you? (Which, ignoring a few technical differences, comes a good bit down to preference and preferred tooling ..)
For #2 and #3, please consult a book/tutorial/google first.

I want to develop mvc net application for finance and bank solution . i used Kendo UI in several application but Kendo UI have not stable.
I want to know extjs is good solution or Devexpress for use in finance and bank solutions.
I would do a search on google.
Search for "bad service" "bugs" etc paired with Extjs and "Dev Express" respectively.
Take into account that one of them is probably more popular and will thus will give you more hits.
I am very pleased with the support from Dev Express, always got an answer to my queries within 24 hours.
I have no experience with Extjs
DevExpress is a good solution, I am also using it now as we speak - try the demo version and see if it also works for you.

I have recently moved into a team leader position in a company that has some very old school developers. I'm trying so hard to convince them to use LINQ2Entities and over using tools like Codesmith to generate stored procedures and DAL layers. It appears that I'm not getting through. Does anyone know of any ways to prove my point?

What is the best pattern for instrumentation. I have an application and i want to be able to track metrics on everytime a users does a number of functions in the app (brings up a form, views a certain feature, etc) but i dont want to have code all over the application that is doing this instrumentation. what are my options here?
At the end of the day, i want to be able to aggregate data across multiple users listing out metrics.
I've been investigating doing something very similar (for an anonymous stats-collection library... kind of like Google Analytics, but for desktop apps. If you're interested, check out the GUI mockup here.)
Anyhow... for .NET, I've been looking at a few aspect-oriented libraries that provide dynamic and static instrumentation. I'm not sure whether they'll fit the bill yet (I haven't written any code yet; I've just started researching the libs). But here are a few prospects:

Good luck!
