I could not open database files that were crated in Visual Studio 2008 after I created roles in the application. The App_Data file does not expand as it should bee. There is no other option in menu available to review the data.
The solution is, go to “Server Explorer” TAB. If not not already seen, enable it from view menu. Click the Add database icon. The following dialog will popup. Select “the database file option”
In Solution explorer, right click on the App_Data folder and select open in Explorer. Copy the path and past it the previous step after you press ok and then browse button.
This should connect your local asp.net files in Visual Studio. Right click on the table and select “show table data”
