Deploying a C# application using LocalDB database

Question

When I run my C# application on another PC, a network-related error appears. On my PC, it runs fine. I have used AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory| to specify the location of my .mdf files. Now, what am I missing in this deployment that makes the application not to run on other PCs?

You are missing an SQL Server instance on your client machines,one option is to install LocalDB on them. Find the installation file SqlLocalDB.MSI, suitable for OS versions on your client machines, you may try this latest version https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/c/1/7c14e92e-bdcb-4f89-b7cf-93543e7112d1/SqlLocalDB.msi
