  • Did you use a connection to a SQL server or a connection to a database file? - Serge Nazarenko
  • to the file database - Bekzhan Seitkali
  • OK, and you have the opportunity to make a screen from VS 2013 of the same connection? usually create a connection to SQL Server to use the database - Serge Nazarenko

Visual Studio searched this data source: LocalDB. She was not in VS 2015.

LocalDB is an option when installing any SQL Server 2012 Express SKU. Select LocalDB on the feature selection page during SQL Server Express installation.

Then we specify LocalDB on DataSource
