How do you create a local database in visual studio

Question

I am new to visual studio. I made an app using excel vba that converts words into code 128 and display them. I tried to recreate it, with visual studio, but I have no idea how to create a file that store data. For example, the barcode code 128 table should be accessible through code to convert a simple text into a barcode view. I know so far how to create service based database on sql, add column, and rows, but I need to know how to have (or create) a file with stored data to work with (like in excel, you create a sheet filled with data, and then, you can adress it using vba)

Answer 1

You've a really good tutorial's on the internet who helps you building a local database on visual studio.

I'll give you a initial steps to build one:

1st: After you create your project, Go to Project > Add New Item > And Choose Service-based Database

2nd: Open your database located on Solution Explorer with the name: nameyouchoose.mdf

3rd: It will open a DataSource on the Server Explorer where you can add your tables, records, etc...
