I was trying the ASP.Net MVC 4 tutorial. When I have added the following code and build the application I was expecting Movies.mdf file will be created under App_Data folder on the Solution Explorer. However, nothing has been created in that directory. Any idea why? 

<connectionStrings>
  <add name="DefaultConnection" 
   connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=aspnet-MvcMovie-2012213181139;Integrated Security=true" 
   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>    
  <add name="MovieDBContext" 
   connectionString="Data Source= (LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;Integrated Security=True" 
   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> 
 </connectionStrings>

    The problem is solved. The problem was the location of the project. I was working with the files from a shared drive which apparently did not create the database in the App_Data folder. Connectionstring code is absolutely fine as it is shown in the tutorial and no changes are required.
