    <p>This is about ConnectionStrings / ASP.NET MVC with Visual Studio 2012 ultimate &amp; SQL Server Express 2012.</p> <p>Following up with this tutorial here: <a href="http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/getting-started-with-aspnet-mvc4/intro-to-aspnet-mvc-4" rel="nofollow">http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/getting-started-with-aspnet-mvc4/intro-to-aspnet-mvc-4</a> I came across an issue with these two connection strings at my web.config:</p> <pre><code>&lt;connectionStrings&gt; &lt;add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0; Initial Catalog=aspnet-MvcMovie-users; Integrated Security=SSPI; AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-MvcMovie-users.mdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /&gt; &lt;add name="MovieDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0; AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf; Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /&gt; &lt;/connectionStrings&gt; </code></pre> <p>the website works fine but I couldn't fingure out why the first db is created in the App_Data folder while the second one is created in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA"?! I supposed that both will be created in App_data because both utilize this attribute: AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|!</p> <p>note: the tutorial mentions that it should be in the App_Data &amp; they added a screenshot that shows it there indeed!</p> <p>I have been looking for an answer and got into the complicity of SQL (I thought User Instances might be the solution) but couldn't reach an answer for this : |</p> <p>(this might be useful to read about User Instances <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb264564(v=sql.90).aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb264564(v=sql.90).aspx</a>)</p> <p>Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Regards</p>

    1. COWhat happens when you add `InitialCatelog` to both strings?

    2. COI didn't try that because my aim is not to eventually make both databases appear under App_data; I rather need to understand why VS/SQL created them this way. thanks for your contribution.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
