I am attempting to add an mdf file into an MVC project and am using VS2008. It seems that Visual Studio expects the SQL Server instance to be SQLEXPRESS. However, I do not have SQLEXPRESS installed. I have a full SQL Server 2008 install and the default instance is MSSQLSERVER. It's easy enough to connect to a database on SQL Server but, I would like to just include an mdf file.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
