If you connect to local data, you can not only connect to a
database file but also integrate it into your application. For

.sdf, .mdf, or .mdb file, and then add it to your project. If
you add local data files, you create a typed dataset and a
dynamic connection string that points to the database file in
your application. When you add a database file to your project,
you use the Data Source Configuration Wizard to specify the
objects to include. You can automatically configure your
connection and start the Data Source Configuration Wizard by
dragging an .sdf, .mdf, or .mdb file from File Explorer into
Solution Explorer. You can then specify the objects to use in
your application. If you use the Data Source Configuration
Wizard to create the data source for a local data file, you are
prompted to include the file in your project. If you don’t
include it, your application will contain only the connection
string to which the hard-coded path points, not
