APP_Data and sql server

[Ilyas]

Hi

I f I place an .mdf file inside the App_data to deploy a web app - can
I deply my site so that the database at runtime is picked up in the
App_data directory?

Would my server need to have sql server installed for this to work or
just the .net framework?

Is the above possible - if not what is the purpose of App_data?

Hello Ilyas,

your MDF should store somewhere in hard drive.
u can use the App_data but in SQL server u should import that DB from you
app_data forlder to work with this database from sql server

I think what he was asking is this: will his mdf db file work properly
with his web app on the production sever if the production server does
not have sql sever installed?

[Ilyas]

Yes

this is exactly what I am asking - wil it work?
