I can't seem to find a simple answer to this on google. I need to create an executable of my application, so that it can easily be opened and used. The application has a database in it, which is made within the same solution in visual studio. I have tried to simply publish the application, but then the database doesn't seem to work as it immediately shows exeptions every time it needs the database.

while you can make LocalDB work, it is not intended for production use. It is a development tool. You still need it installed and the proper instance name/version created. – Crowcoder Jan 02 '18 at 14:13

This is for school, and one of the requirements is that the database is build within the C# project. (first time I worked with databases) – Bas Bastiaansen Jan 02 '18 at 14:22

Please indicate the exception you're generating. This may make it easier to diagnose the root cause of the problem. – Bob Mc Jan 02 '18 at 14:46
