   It was path problem that I had now it works.   
   But I wonder you mentioned that using the AttachDBFilename was not so good   
   according to you   
   If I have a database called CarsDB.mdf with these setting in web.config how   
   would I write to skip this   
   AttachDBFilename ?   
   The CarsDB.mdf is located in the App_data folder which the DataDirectory is   
   refering to.
