Chapter 16

Greetings,

I am making another website as a demo and practice, I followed the same steps in chapter 16, all successful.
But I left the connection added by the microsoft providers (that I install in the manager condole prompt)
It is called "Default connection" and the connection string shown is:
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=aspnet-myPersonalWebsite-20150412145639;Integrated Security=SSPI"

But where is the newly added database??!! Where can I find the users and memberships and the rest? It is not included in my current connection that has the following properties in web.config:
<add name="PersonalWebDBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/App_Code.personalWebsiteModel.csdl|res://*/App_Code.personalWebsiteModel.ssdl|res://*/App_Code.personalWebsiteModel.msl;provider=System. Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;attachdbfilename=|DataDirector y|\PersonalWebDB.mdf;integrated security=True;user instance=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=En tityFramework"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

Thanks...

It depends a bit on your machine and setup, but it's likely under C:\Users\YourUserName

If not, use Windows search to find the file by its name.

Thanks,

But what is its name? I tried the number 20150412145639 but no use, I tried default connection but also couldn't find it.
Where is it?!?!

Try searching for myPersonalWebsite-20150412145639 instead.

Also, make sure you run the site and that the database has been created; it may not be created until you view pages that access the database.

Cheers,
