I am trying to connect a SQL Database to an MVC4 project using Entity Framework.

I have a database: Astronomy.mdf which is located in the mdb project.

The connection string was found at:

HTML

https://connectionstrings.com/sql-server/

In web.config:

XML

<connectionStrings>
  <add name="testContext" connectionString="Server=.\SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=C:\folder\mdb\mdb\App_Data\Astronomy.mdf;Database=Astronomy;Trusted_Connection=Yes;" />
</connectionStrings>
