Hello,

Visual Web Developer Express is supposed to generate a database file named ASPNETDB.MDF and place it in the App_data folder. In my case, it does not.

I have tried all suggestions at http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=98346&siteid=1 (some of which are related to deployment, and not this issue). I have also tried uninstalling IIS, the .NET Framework, SQLExpress, and VWD, and reinstalled a clean copy of everything (I did follow the specified order, although it's not the above).

I'm guessing this default database contains the objects used in intellisense?

Whatever it's supposed to be for, it has confounded me for two weeks! Does anybody know how to make this work?

I thought I had the ASPNET.MDF file auto-generating, by deleting the local settings files as described in the link above. So this is not a resolved issue.

I notice there are lots of people viewing, but no responses??
