I looked through the SQL explorer and do not see a database for this project. SO I am assuming that Data is generated in memory and deleted when refreshed or something like that. I've been though Entity framework and MVC and I guess I'm not getting it why I don't see tables with data stored.

"Note: The code in this class is not to be considered a "best practice" example of how to do data persistence, but rather as workaround for not having a database to persist data to."

Courses Plus Student 41,372 PointsGo to Microsoft developer site and see how you manually can add the database. May your solution explorer does not see the database directly.
