    I'm going to be building the ASP.Net MVC NerdDinner tutorial. The tutorial walks through creating the databases and tables in Visual Studio 2008 using SQL Server Express but states that the code will work in SQL Server 2008 as well.

    Just to make sure I understand correctly; I can create the same databases here on DiscountASP and just modify the connection string and all "should" work properly correct?

    If anyone has any adivce I'm open as I'm new to .Net and trying to learn. I've already go my site setup using the ASP.Net MVC template application and it is working properly.

    You'll need to upload the .mdf file to the server and use the SQL attach tool in the control panel to attach the db.

    Once done, update the connection string in your app.
