Can you clarify what you are trying to accomplish? The way I read this, it sounds like you are going to create a database using SQL Server Management Studio. You then want to take that database and package it with your application. Is that correct?

This is no simple task and it is still a broad question. Can you provide more details of what you are doing? What are your requirements? How will be packaging and distributing the project? Do you need to create the database file or can you simply using scripts to create the database upon install?
