In my project I’m using Entity Framework and from the start I created the Model from a local database. Now I want to use a .mdf file (in the project directory) instead of a local database, but I want to do this with as little interference in the project as possible.
If it is possible I don’t want to create a new Model or changing the Entity name and so on.
What is the most efficient way to do this? Can I just change the connection string? And if yes, what should I change it to?
Just copy the mdf file to your AppData directory and change the connection to look like this:
Note this part: AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\MyDBFile.mdf;
