Data lost from .mdf file as I exit application

Question

Recently I work on SQL Server 2008 R2 database. I create database and attach .mdf file of same database in my application with some default data in it . Run application default data coming properly. Now I insert, update some data in my application and its works fine. But as I exit application and again run application lastly added and updated data get lost but default data coming proper as earlier. Please help. Why new

Answer 1

As mention by @Henk , @Microtechie , I scan my project folder and found there are 3 copies of .mdf file are there, 1st in project folder where code project([ProjectFolder ]) resides 2nd in [ProjectFolder]/bin/debug folder and 3rd in [ProjectFolder]/bin/release folder and suddenly solution to my que trigger in my mind. Problem not in multiple .mdf files in project folder, as I every time ‘Clean’ and ‘Build’ my solution new copy of .mdf file from [ProjectFolder] get copied into [ProjectFolder]/bin/debug folder, result in override of last .mdf file in same folder. Hence every time I build and run application only default data coming and last added and updated data get lost. Thanku all for your replies and precise answer..!

What kind of object do you load your .mdf file data into? It is likely that you need to save the changes in that object before closing the application.
