Hello!

In the Data Connection(Server Explorer) in Visual Studio I have connected to
the nortwind database.
and the extension for the nortwind database is dbo.
The complete name is: MyServer\sqlexpress.Northwind.dbo
I mean that a database file has extension mdf so I just wonder why is the
extension dbo ?

That's not a file but a database connection. MyServer is the host,
sqlexpress the instance, Northwind the database (catalog) and dbo the
special user/role "database owner".
