What kind of local database are you talking about? You can use a local
install of SQL Express (which shouldn't be too much of a big deal), or use
Access (if it truly is local, and multiple users wont be using it at the
same time).
Can you give a little more information about what you are trying to do?

I have an installation of sql express along with C# express and this is what
I would like to use. First off, just a flat file database is what I would
like to do and I will be the only user of the db.

Paul,
If you are going to use flat files, then you don't have a need for SQL
Server express. If you want to use a flat file, then you should use the
text file provider for OLE DB (through the System.Data.OleDb namespace).

Thanks for your quick reply. So, I am assuming that if I wanted to store blob
objects I would need to use sql server?

Paul,
You could always convert the bytes into a string using Base 64 encoding,
but that might make for some VERY big fields. Also, you can use blobs in
Access, but that wouldn't be a flat file anymore.
