I have a C# application which uses a local .mdf database file for storing some data.
I first tested it on another machine (windows 10, 64bit), which had Visual studio installed, but the application failed to connect to the localDB instance. After installing Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express (which contains the LocalDB installation packet), it started to work.
I decided to test it also on another machine (Windows 7, no Visual studio, 32bit), where the same problem occurred. Installing the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express did not resolve the problem. The returned error message states: “SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 – Error Locating Server/Instance Specified”.
The used connection string in my application is:
string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
string path_to_local_DB = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\" + "Monitoring.mdf";
string local_connection_string = @"Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=" + path_to_local_DB + ";Integrated Security=True";
I have also checked the following things on the machine with Windows7:

Would anybody know what could be causing the application to work on the Windows 10 machine and to not work on the Windows 7 machine? Both machines have .NET version 4.6.2 installed.
Firstly Go to SQL server and Execute following Command :
SELECT @@SERVERNAME
Now ,Change your local_connection_string [Data Source] ( Mentioned in your code above ) ,with the Above result .
Its all the connectivity issue .
