Potentially wrong and annoying message: “This project uses SQL Server Express LocalDB”

Question

I’ve upgraded one of my asp.net web applications to Visual Studio 2015. After upgrade I keep getting this message: “This project uses SQL Server Express LocalDB. Microsoft recomends that you use SQL Server Express with IIS”

No matter I choose Yes or No, I always get the pop up upon each F5 run. I have no LocalDB. This should be a bug in VS05. What are my workaround options?

Answer 1

This was happening to me because I had a newly created SQL DB Project, not connected to anything really, so it was being compiled with the default connection string. Pretty much like @james-lawruk says.
