Body
I'm developing an application using C# in Visual Studio. This is my first C# application which will use a local database and I am therefore unsure exactly how this is done. I have been following <a href="http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/article.php/c19233/Introduction-to-Entity-Framework-Code-First.htm" rel="nofollow">this article</a> from codeguru. I have declared my entities, all of which are currently just inheriting from this: <pre><code>public class Reference { /// <summary> /// ID of the reference. /// </summary> public int Id { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Reference to the element in theTVDB. /// </summary> public int TheTVDBId { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Whether or not the reference has been marked as watched. /// </summary> public bool IsWatched { get; set; } } </code></pre> I have also declared my DbContext as the following: <pre><code>public class Library : DbContext { /// <summary> /// Constructor using the base constructor. /// This constructor names the database "Library". /// </summary> public Library() : base("Library") { } /// <summary> /// Set of TVSeriesReferences stored in the database. /// </summary> public DbSet<TVSeriesReference> TVSeriesReferences { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Set of SeasonReferences stored in the database. /// </summary> public DbSet<SeasonReference> SeasonReferences { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Set of EpisodeReferences stored in the database. /// </summary> public DbSet<EpisodeReference> EpisodeReferences { get; set; } } </code></pre> I am trying to store entities in the database doing the following: <pre><code>Library db = new Library(); TVSeriesReference reference1 = new TVSeriesReference(); reference1.TheTVDBId = 1234; reference1.IsWatched = true; db.TVSeriesReferences.Add(reference1); TVSeriesReference reference2 = new TVSeriesReference(); reference2.TheTVDBId = 8000; db.TVSeriesReferences.Add(reference2); int i = db.SaveChanges(); </code></pre> All of this seems to work. At least, I get no errors and <code>i</code> is 2 on every run. The problem is that the database (which is named "Library") does not show up anywhere. Actually, I don't even have that "Object Explorer" view and I can't seem to find it. As the database doesn't show up, I am unsure whether or not this is working and if my data is actually stored. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if I am missing something?

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
