title: Migrating local database from app_data folder to SQL Azure
body: <p>I have a database in the app_data folder of an asp.net website on my local machine.  I'm now trying to migrate that database to SQL Azure using the <a href="http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow">SQL Azure Migration Wizard</a>.  Here's my issue.  The Migration Wizard only sees the databases that I have on my local sql server.  It does not see the database in my application's app_data folder and I can't figure out how to connect to it.  Is there a way to get the migration wizard to see this database? Or, is there an alternative way I can migrate this database?  I already tried scripting the database from within VS.  Unfortunately the script failed to execute on Azure because of differences in the way that SQL Azure &amp; regular SQL Server work.  I know that from past experience the Migration Wizard resolves these differences easily.</p>
