Hello. I created local DB DBSimple.sdf with some tables. Then i published code:

C#

private string CommandText = "SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName, ContactName, ContactTitle, Address, City, Region, PostalCode, Country, Phone, Fax FROM Customers";

private string ConnectionString = "";
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(CommandText, ConnectionString);

What is ConnectionString must be for local file DBSimple.sdf? (It Database showes at Data Connections/Server Eplorer)
