Instance and roles of ASP.net MVC 2 + SS 2008 Developer

Question

Gonna need some advice for my work.

In my computer I have installed VS2010 and SQL Server 2008 Developer with a customized instance name named MYCOMPUTER. If I need to transfer the project work, that is created with ASP.NET MVC 2 and of course I also have create a database via VS2010:s interface, from my computer into another computer that has VS2010 with light version of SQL Server 2008 with a instance named SQLEXPRESS, will it be trouble?

I also heard that if you have created roles in the ASP.net via VS and it can be more error message or trouble in relation with SS 2008 Developer due to database's defined roles. Is it true?

It will be no troubles with moving databases if you will use backups or plain sql scripts (actually this is most painless way). As for roles - it depends on what roles are you talking about? Roles created for default SqlRoleProvider? If so all you need to do is to write appropriate connection string in your web config.
