I have a program in visual c# with a sqldatabase.
When i look in the folder where my program is located i can see the datbase : database1.mdf.
But what i want to do is to set my program and database on a usb stick and be able to use my program everywhere on any pc.
Can someone help me.

That will be Compact Edition
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/2012-editions/compact.aspx

Do note that the compact edition is a in-process database engine and with limited functionality compare to the full fledged SQL Server
