Cannot find database for SQL Server Express 2014

Question

Two questions

• How to connect to SQL Server Express database from SQL Management Studio?
• How do I get an MVC Entity Framework application to connect to my original SQL Server Express LocalDB database .

My script

I have an MVC application installed to use IIS, and when I first started the application, he asked me to switch from SQL Server Express LocalDb to SQL Server Express.

As a result, I no longer have data in the database, as I am now connecting to the new database server.
