Creating and utilizing a local database in Visual Studio 2010

Question

I can't seem to find any straight-forward guides on how to create a windows forms application with C# .NET in Visual Studio 2010 that uses a local database. When I create the local database, a .sdf file, I can't figure out how to have my form access it. All the discussions I have been able to find on it seem to assume I know more than I do on the subject. Can anyone direct me towards a straight-forward beginner's guide on the subject, or outline the steps I need to take?
