You should consider using Redis. It's an advanced NoSQL database with support for rich server-side data structures such as lists, sets, sorted sets and hashes. It is also one of the fastest NoSQL databases around: 110000 SETs/second, 81000 GETs/second in an entry level Linux box. Check the benchmarks.

I have a feature-rich open source C# client that let's you persist any C# POCO type natively available at: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.Redis

Here are some benchmarks comparing the Redis C# client vs RavenDB.

The client provides a rich interface providing wrappers for .NET's generic IList, IDictionary and ICollection for Redis's rich server side data structures.

If you want to view a good tutorial on how you can use it to develop a real-world application check out: http://code.google.com/p/servicestack/wiki/DesigningNoSqlDatabase

Here's an example from the page above showing how easy it is to store and retrieve C# objects:

var redis = new RedisClient();
using (var redisUsers = redisClient.GetTypedClient<User>())
{
    redisUsers.Store(new User { Id = redisUsers.GetNextSequence(), Name = "demis" });
    redisUsers.Store(new User { Id = redisUsers.GetNextSequence(), Name = "mythz" });

    var allUsers = redisUsers.GetAll();

    Console.WriteLine(allUsers.Dump());
}
/*Output
[
    {
        Id: 1,
        Name: ayende,
        BlogIds: []
    },
    {
        Id: 2,
        Name: mythz,
        BlogIds: []
    }
]
 */

Although the server is primarily developed on Linux I have windows redis-server builds available at: http://code.google.com/p/servicestack/wiki/RedisWindowsDownload

RavenDB by Ayende is the only one written in .net (that I know of), so it "just works" on Windows.

It is Open Source, but it has a dual license:
you can use it for free if your project is Open Source as well, otherwise you have to purchase a commercial license.

I have used MongoDB on Windows and the install went pretty smoothly. I haven't put a real heavy load on it yet.

And you can find a .NET driver here for Mongo if that's your platform

A bit old answer but there's an approach giving you a nosql'ish document store behavior over SQL-server, http://www.sisodb.com

You could NosDB a try. Its a NoSQL database written completely in .NET which supports SQL queries as well.

It's open source with Apache 2.0 License so its completely free without any strings attached.

The answer to whether is it the best or not is completely opinion based so you should check it out yourself.
