Can I use a .sqlproj file in my .vbproj environment?

Question

I just got VS2013 because I had to do a system restore... unfortunately during the system restore my project's DB files didn't make it over. So, rather than build a LocalDB from my .vbproj environment I decided to manage it in a separate SQL project. The issue I have now is that I can't seem to find a way to USE my .sqlproj as the LocalDB while I'm working on my .vbproj. How do I use my .sqlproj database in my .vbproj file?

I should be able to connect to the localdb with these settings:

AHA!!!! I finally found the answer. I needed to use the right instance of my (localdb). SSDT (.sqlproj) creates an instance called Projects in the LocalDB instead of the default workspace V11.0.

So in the screenshot above I needed to change the "Server Name:" to (localdb)\Projects instead of the generic instance (localdb)\\v11.0. Then it all started to flow together like the magic that it is.
