I am following TIO starting on page 542 chapter 15 and everything in this chapter has worked well and made sense. So far so good. Then I get to step 10..

"double click the ASPNETDB.mdf database in the App_Data folder"

seems simple enough but it becomes harder when the ASPNETDB.mdf doesn't appear to be in the App_Data folder..

As far as I am aware the ASPNETDB is used to store all the data and is created by default. As all the exercises so far have worked then I can only asume that the ASPNETDB does exist and is being used and is just not visible to me?

How do I make it visible/where else could it be? I tried looking in the index but couldn't find any direct references to ASPNETDB.

So if you could help that would be good.

Cheers

Will

Do you see it on disk in Windows Explorer?

Try clicking the App_Data folder and then the Refreh icon on the toolbar of the Solution Explorer.

Cheers,

Imar
