4.- The connection string configuration from the web.config file:

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-ExampleMVC-20160724094734.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-ExampleMVC-20160724094734;Integrated Security=True"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
