Which Database is my ASP NET MVC 3 CodeFirst Project using?

I need to find out, which database is used by default when I create a MVC3 project with EF 4.3 using the Code First approach. I have not entered any connection information in the Web.config, the application is working , but I cannot find any related data in my local SQL 2008 Server.

Thanks in advance!

SQL Express will be used by default. Check your AppData folder to find your database file.
