This walk through, Creating a SQL Server Express Database File should help you out some.

If you have time and further questions about Visual Studio Web Developer Express you can also watch videos at: Visual Web Developer Express - Easy to Learn and Building Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008.

Good luck and hope this helps some.

You can either create one in code, or download the management tools and do it through the UI. If all you downloaded was the runtime these are not included.
