    [2005] APP_DATA files, ASP.NET 2.0 project

    There is a database in the APP_DATA directory of my project. Its about 10 MB big, so it takes extra time to copy it over when I publish my project. Must it be on the server for the project to run, and what are these files?
    Can I make it so they are not generated by my project?

    the APP_DATA directory is mainly for if you are running a user instance of SQL Server 2005 or SQL Express. if you haven't made an *.mdb file in there then it should be empty and not 10 MB. i don't think it is necessary to copy it over once you have it pre-existing on the server. i'm not sure if you must have this in your webroot or not but it doesn't bother me seeing as how mine is always empty due to the fact i'm on SQL 2000.
