How to my application install and access without Sql Server

Hi,

You can use attached DB file and access it but you need to install pre-requisites for sql server.

Without it you are not able to access the DB.

Please let me know if you have any query.

Thanks.

If you already have .mdf file then there is no need to install SqlServer, it handles by SqlServer express provides by VisualStudio. So you need to add existing element and browse the .mdf file then use it.
