Browse Embedded in Windows Form RavenDb database

Question

I have an embedded database in windows forms app. Is it possible to browse it using ravendb management studio? All examples that I found concerned used web app approach.

Yes, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6947092/is-it-possible-to-connect-to-an-embedded-db-with-raven-management-studio — Fitzchak Yitzchaki, Jul 05 '12 at 12:33
I saw that example, but it is about web application. How to apply it to Windows Forms ? — Gwynnbleid1, Jul 05 '12 at 13:12
I tried to add UseEmbeddedHttpServer = true setting, but initialization returns HttpListenerException: "Access is denied" — Gwynnbleid1, Jul 05 '12 at 13:19

Answer provided by Fitzchak Yitzchaki was almost 100% correct(there wasn't any mention about Windows Forms). Lots of credits go also to desigenr of this database who helped me with some problems.

So to summarize what needs to be done to acces RavenDb Management Studio:

Set UseEmbeddedHttpServer as in answer provided by Fitzchak Yitzchaki.
Raven.Studio.xap must be in same directory as application main executable file.
Application has to be run with admin privileges("Run as admin").

I hope this post will help someone.
