dotnet academic : newbie - very basic question

I have a practice website (I'm a newbie) that I want to use the
Northwind SQL Server sample database in. First, do I upload the
database into my App_Data folder of my website? Also I have a
textbook .aspx I'm doing a lab on with the following code (what I'm
wondering is do I change the "local" to the complete URL of my
website? Also should I drag the Northwind object over my .aspx form
to
create the Data Adapter or is that handled in the code below? Also in
HTML code following, where should I place A and where should I place
B?):

A) Imports System.Data
Imports.System.Data.SqlClient

B) Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If IsPostBack Then
Dim cnn As SqlConnection("Data Source=(local);" & _
New SqlConnection("Data Source=(local);" & _
"Initial Catalog=Northwind;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI")
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet()
Dim da As SqlAdapter = _
New SqlDataAdapter()
Dim cmdSelect As SqlCommand = _
cnn.CreateCommand()
cmdSelect.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmdSelect.CommandText = _
"SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName, " & _
"ContactName FROM Customers"
Dim cmdInsert As SqlCommand = _
cnn.CreateCommand()
cmdInsert.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmdInsert.CommandText = _
"INSERT INTO Customers " & _
"(CustomerID, CompanyName, ContactName) " & _
"VALUES(@CustomerID, @CompanyName, _
"@ContactName)"
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", _
SqlDbType.NChar, _
5, "CustomerID")
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("@CompanyName", _
SqlDbType.NVarChar, _
40, "CompanyName")
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("@ContactName", _
SqlDbType.NVChar, _
30, "ContactName")
cmdInsert.Parameters("@CustomerID"), _
SourceVersion = _
DataRowVersion.Original
Da.SelectCommand = cmdSelect
Da.InsertCommand = cmdInsert
Da.Fill(ds, "Customers")
Dim dr As DataRow = ds.Tables( _
"Customers").NewRow()
Dr(0) = txtCustomerID.Text
Dr(1) = txtCompanyName.Text
Dr(2) = txtContactName.Text
Ds.Tables("Customers").Rows.Add(dr)
Da.Update(ds, "Customers")
lblResults.Text = "Row added!"
End If
End Sub

I'm using Northwind as a .mdf file and was thinking it might work to
upload it to my host server in my website's App_Data folder (?).

Are you accessing Northwind as a .mdf file, or are you accessing it as a
database attached to an instance of SQL Server/

That should work as long as your web.config has the path correctly
identified.
