Visual Studio - This Database Cannot Be Imported Error

Question

When I test my app, it appears to work fine. I get the "success" message when I hit the submit button. However, no data is actually inserted, and when I attempt to refresh the table to view the data I get the following message:

This database cannot be imported. It is either an unsupported SQL Server version or an unsupported database compatibility.

App.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
    </configSections>
    <startup> 
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />

    </startup>
  <connectionStrings>
    <remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;Initial Catalog=database.mdf"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <add name="hotelApp.Properties.Settings.databaseConnectionString"
      connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;Initial Catalog=database.mdf"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

And some code snippets:

To be honest, I had trouble earlier with this database (that is why the connection string section is the way it is). If I cannot find a simple solution to this problem, is there an easy way to copy the schema and data from the tables and transport it to a new database that might actually work properly?

Thanks much!

Yes, you need to change the connection string. Try something like this:

    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="DataBaseServerName;database=NameOfDB;Integrated Security=True;" />
