I have an app with a local .sdf database file. This file keeps disappearing from the project as I debug and test it. Anybody know a way to keep these files from vanishing? Thanks!

Hi Greg,

I am afraid I am not able to reproduce you issue. Could you give me more details? Isee you have a .sdf database file. Where do you put it, include in app or you just accesses the .sdf file in programming? Besides, do you use the windows forms application to test your .sdf file?

Best regards,

Ling Wang

Hello, I do have the .sdf in the project and in a project folder. I've tried moving it from /Data to /SDFs but no matter where I put it, when I hit F5 to debug the app, the .sdf file comes up missing. VS is deleting it. Thanks for your time and feedback!

Also, this seems to happen when i Build or Rebuild the project or solution.
