I was testing creating a new project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.2 from a template creating a MVC internet project.
It created a localdb database with the membership tables. However I wanted to use SQL server express instead so I followed the steps
here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh873188.aspx
and changed my Tools->Options->Database Options and changed the local instance name from I think was (LocalDB)\V11.0 to my local instance to blank. I recreated a new project using the menu New Project->MVC->Internet but the database didn't get created and I got no error message. I then set the Instance name back and recreated the new project from the template again and this time the localdb doesn't even get created and I don't get any errors.
How do I get the membership database to be created from the "internet" template as it is designed either back to localdb or to my sql server express instance?
