Hi everyone,
I a a total NEEWBIE to Umbraco and have installed Umbraco on Visual Studio 2019.
During install I chose "custimize" because I wanted to start with a fresh install without template.
During this process I had to choose which DB I wanted to use, and I went with SQL CE, as I don´t have a Database tool installed.
How do I export my finished site when I am done?
I have a aspx webhost with Unoeuro and want to export to that server.
But I am very much in doubt about my DB settings and if it is a file or how to export it.
I would suggest using a real database, and only use SqlCe on your local machine.
In your local umbraco install you can export all the settings and content. This is done under the "packages" where you click "created" and "create package".
Fill out the form (just write the name of your website in all the fields), and select what you want to export (just check everything under package content). After clicking "create", you can then download a package.
When you upload your website (you can do this from visual studio), umbraco will have to be installed on the target environment.
You should have some database credentials from your hosting company, that you need to install umbraco.
When you have installed umbraco, you can then import the package - under packages, just click "install local".

You could keep on running with the SDF file (in /App_Data) -- move this over with FTP to your host.
However, if you have a SQL Server database with your hosting provider, that is a preferred solution.
To migrate I would suggesst the SqlCeToolbox plug-in for visual studio (can run stand alone too).
Thanks Damiaan, i will try to look into this SqlCeToolbox thingy ;-)
