Having Trouble making sql connection. this is my code

 private static SqlConnection GetConnection()
{
    SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection();
    con.ConnectionString = @"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=" + path + @"\App_Data\Database1.sdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True";
    con.Open();

    return con;
}

and this is what i get

Error: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file
\App_Data\Database1.sdf failed. A database with the same name exists,
or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

And my database is located in a folder App_Data so not sure whats wrong
