You have to create a sql query script that contains the code to create your database. Using sql manager express:

0) Connect to your server
1) Right click the database
2) In the context menu, select "Tasks" and then "Generate Scripts"

It will present a wizard form. Just follow the pages and it will eventually generate a script that will create your database, including all (selected) tables, stored procedures, views, and user-defined functions, etc.

Once you have that script, include it in your application solution and simply run the script from your app if the database doesn't already exist. I'll leave the exact details of that part to your awesome google abilities.

FWIW, I googled "c# create a database from a sql script", and something that looks like it might contain the desired info was found in the very first link.
