title: How to find SQL Server database files in application files when the project is published in VS 2013?
body: <p>I'm trying to make a setup for my Visual Studio 2013 project and I'm using SQL Server database connected to it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to publish it with the normal way but when I'm checking the applications file: </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rVwa8.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rVwa8.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I don't see any of my database file (the <code>.mdf</code> and the <code>.ldf</code> file):</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Dle9q.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Dle9q.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I tried to add them manually to the debug folder in the project but still the same.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my connection string in <code>App.config</code> :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;connectionStrings&gt;
      &lt;add name="DB_Maintenance.Properties.Settings.Setting" 
           connectionString="Data Source=DESKTOP-LQV6N5B\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Clinic_DB;Integrated Security=True"
           providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /&gt;
  &lt;/connectionStrings&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way I could make them show? Or is there any way to make a setup for the project and database within to be able to run it on any computer?</p>
