I created desktop application using c# ( visual studio 2010 ) and a database using sql server 2008.
and i made a setup project but the question is :
1- how to put the database files in my setup project?
2- how can i attach the database automatically in sql server 2008 express when i install the application on another machine?
3- there is another solution instead of install sql server 2008 express on the other machines i'll install the application on it (there is no network between them )?

thank you sir for cooperation.
but your links the both speak about web application and my application is desktop.
and these articles speak about remote database and my application will run on stand-alone machine so i need the database and the application run on stand-alone machine without any networks.
