Did this happened to you?

Hi everybody,
-I created a DB with SQLServer Express 2005 under WinXP and started to try
little things with VisualStudio Express 2008's C#
-When configuring the DB conx under VSE2008 it copies the DB files to the
project folder.
-The dark endweek fall over me and so I copied the project folder to a
laptop with Vista (into Documents/VisualStudio2008/Projects as should be).
-Now, running thru the sample walkthroughs with my new DB, it seems to work
right when running the program, but it does not really update the DB, and
*silently*. Say, no exceptions, no program crash, no badly managed
Try/Catch, etc.
-In both workstations I'm accessing with administrative privileges and I
checked the permissions in the folders and everything is with full access.
The DB connx is with Windows autenthication.
-I don't know if it works nice with XP 'cause I'll test that tomorrow
-The samples works as it should with Northwind, altough it's another
controller, SQLServer's compact edition.
Thx for any comments.

Yes, nobody answered 'cause it's a stupid question.
The IDE doesn't update the DB files in the mainfolder. The DB files are
copied to /bin/debug and /bin/release, hence the main DB files are never
updated. But I still need some doc source about how exactly this works. Thx
RFOG!
TIA.
