title: How to add SQL Server database to my VS11 Website?
body: <p>I have a website project (C#/ASP.NET) opened in Visual Studio 11 (beta) which works with the built-in SQL Server Compact Edition. But, I would rather use my SQL Server 2012 which is installed on this machine, and I have my tables already created in it.</p>
  
  <p>Question is, how do connect to it from VS11? Do I add it in the <code>App_Data</code> folder where I have the Compact database? </p>
  
  <p>Right now I am opening my pre-made database with the </p>
  
  <pre><code>var db = Database.Open("StarterSite");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>command.</p>
