I'm following this tutorial to create a Code-First Database.
After installing EF and creating those first basic classes it says:
Run your application and you will see that a MigrationsCodeDemo.BlogContext database is created for you.
Well, I have VS2013 Pro with all the SQL Servers installed (full installation of VS2013 Pro).
Now as you can see from the image below, I can't find my database after running the program as the tutorial is suggesting. When I try to do the migrations part of the tutorial, I indeed get the error it supposed to get, implying that somewhere the database actually has been created. I just am not able to find it.
Where is it located?
Edit: added App.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
</startup>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="mssqllocaldb" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
</configuration>
The physical master database files are at
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances\v11.0
The DB files are simply in C:\Users\<user>
You can also connect to localdb using SSMS by using server (localdb)\v11.0 and delete the database from there.
The official documentation is here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-AU/library/hh510202.aspx
Edit by QuantumHive:
I finally figured out that the Database can be found in the instance called MSSqlLocalDb which Entity Framework added by default in my App.config. I now have a visualization of the database in Visual Studio:
I'm guessing those tutorials are old and referring to the v11.0 instance, which perhaps and older version of EF added that by default at the time.
