Are there any tools for managing the deployed ASP.NET application aspnetdb.mdf file similar to Visual Studio WSAT ("hummer-globe" button)?
Installing Visual Studio and SQL Managment tools on the server is not possible.
From Enable ASP.NETWebAdminFiles outside of Visual Studio
...
Create a virtual directory pointing to the web admin files.
Here's what I did: VirtualDirectory: ASP.NetWebAdminFiles MappedTo: C: \ WINDOWS \ Microsoft.NET \ Framework \ v2.0.50727 \ ASP.NETWebAdminFiles
Modify the properties of the virtual directory so that it runs in ASP.NET 2.0. (Property> ASP.NET)
NOTE. If you use applications 1.1 and 2.0 on the same server or site, you may need to configure a separate application pool for sites 2.0. If you receive a notification, โApplication unavailable,โ that is why.
While you are there, remove anonymous access to this virtual directory.
You can then connect to the web admin tools using the following URL syntax
http: //localhost/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles/default.aspx? applicationPhysicalPath = XXX & applicationUrl = / YYY
