I need to send a asp.net demo using SQL Server database. Is local db something require no configuration to run on other machine ? Is it something if I include in project, on other machine other person will just run application in Visual Studio and LocalDb will be available there ? or it will require some configurations on other machine as well ?

I m looking for a way there I can just add a database in my asp.net application and on other machine having visual studio should open and run it without any configuration. Please guide is LocalDb for this purpose or I should use any other solution ?

Yes, the target machine should have SQL Sever Express 2012/2014 LocalDB installed. It comes with VS 2012 (as long as it was not deselected in the advanced options during setup).

If you provide a demo for developers, you should list all requirements for the system, such as

  • VS.NET version
  • database engine version
  • user rights, folder structure, etc.

and they should take that into account when setting the demo.

  • can you please suggest some solution where on other machine no configurations are requried ? – user576510 May 20 '14 at 08:21
  • A configuration may vary and you cannot be sure that their setup is equal to your setup. As I mentioned in the updated post, LocalDB comes with VS.NET2012. You should list all requirements for your demo and your clients should configure their machine appropriately. – user2316116 May 20 '14 at 08:42
