title: can I use MongoDb in server-less mode?
body: <p>I'm considering using MongoDb for a backing store for a WPF app that I'm building. Mostly just to get some exposure to NoSQL. Ideally I'd like to make a mongodb database, put it in my application's root folder (or ./data) and connect to it with LINQ -- without having mongo.exe running. I did something similar recently with SQLite and found it to be a great change from XML for data storage. </p>
  
  <p>Is this possible with MongoDb? All the samples that I've seen require mongod.exe to be running when you connect to the database. And the data is always stored in c:\data\db. </p>
