Hey every one i need some help please! I am trying to save a Database through c# but cant seem to crack it. I read a few threads but every one explains how to save an existing DB. In my program I am creating a new DB in c# then i want to save it. All the code works except the save. My program is totally useless without a save button. If someone can help please. Here's my code...

Can you upload your project for use to look at?

when I want to upload it it says

invalid file

sorry.

The code above is all of the coding in that part of my project.

Can you try using something like dropbox to upload with, problem is not being able to see your windows forms properties.
