Entityframe work database

Question

I'm using this EF framework trying to learn it with the code first approach. I've following a couple articles. My question is where is my data base I've looked at this article HERE but still can not fid the db. I'm using VS 2012 and didnt specify the connection string so it should be in the local instance of the SQL express is my understanding with the fully qualified DB context name?

Here is my context class :

namespace EntityFrameWorkPluralSight
{
  class Context : DbContext
  {
    public DbSet<Blog> Blogs { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Post> Posts { get; set; }

  }
}

enter image description here

Thanks for the help.

LocalDB was introduced in SQL Server 2012 CTP3. It’s basically a new version of SQL Express, with same functionality, dedicated to developers.
