I\'m trying to crea

Answer 1

This is my workaround in wpf. I think solution is the same in Winform:

1. Make your mdf file "content" by right clicking on that and select properties. In "build action" menu select "content". And in copy to output directory select copy always

2. In Solution explorer go to Properties/Settings.Settings and put connection strings in a field (notice that name of that must be the same as it is in your App.config (eg in wpf) like picture below it will create).

3. Right click in your setup project and Add->Project output-> then select content files.
