title: My code against LocalDB works but I can't see the database anywhere
body: <p>I have a simple website that uses EF Code First and LocalDB. This is in my web.config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;connectionStrings&gt;
    &lt;add name="MyContext" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=(localdb)\v11.0;Integrated Security=true;"/&gt;
  &lt;/connectionStrings&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My website works fine, PowerShell commands like <code>Update-Database</code> and <code>Add-Migration</code> work fine, however, I cannot see the database anywhere inside Visual Studio. Not in SQL Server Object Explorer, not in Server Explorer (when I try to connect to "MyContext" database on the <code>(localdb)\v11</code> server, the dialog tells me that there is no such db there).</p>

  <p>I am confused. Where is my database?</p>
