title: Visual Studio 2013 Attach Database Failure
body: <p>I am having trouble connecting a .mdf file in my Visual Studio 2013 website project.  For reference, this is the exercise in Chapter 4 of Murach's ASP.NET 4.5 web programming with C# 2012.  The version of VS I am using is 2013 Ultimate.</p>
  
  <p>When I add the SqlDataSource control and attempt to configure the data source, I get the error shown in the image below.  I don't know how to proceed.  Can anyone offer guidance?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: This exercise uses IIS Express which is the default for VS 2012 and 2013.  I was not prompted at any point to enter a server path.</p>
