Entity Framework doesn't create the database in SQL Server Management 2012, instead it just creates in (localdb)\v11.0 How to fix it?

Question

Hi, I'm Begginer in Entity Framework. Then I'm having some problems.
I created my entities and I give Save Changes. (Ok)
Then, I Tried to Connect with the database through Server Explorer, if I use the instance of the SQL Server Management Studio 2012(PC-PAULO\INSTANCIAPJ) as Server Name, the database doesn't appears but, if I use the the instance (localdb)\v11.0 the dabase
appears.
How to change the save to the SQL Server Management Studio 2012, I don't know where this (localDB)\v11.0 saves.
Help-me Thank you :D

Hello PauloJos,
The code should be ok and it is really strange that the database is only created into the local database in your machine. I am wondering if it is related with the machine environment, could you please have a try with below demo on your machine which works
on my side and if it is possible, please have a try to run your application on other machines to see if it works:
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
#region https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/00eff3c4-2336-4807-9212-e6f2a6c8812e/entity-framework-doesnt-create-the-database-in-sql-server-management-2012-instead-it-just-creates?forum=adodotnetentityframework
using (CFDbContext db = new CFDbContext())
db.Database.CreateIfNotExists();
#endregion
public class CFDbContext : DbContext
public CFDbContext() : base("UltraFoda3") { }
public DbSet<TestOne> TestOnes { get; set; }
public class TestOne
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
Config file is similar:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>

</configSections>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">

</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="UltraFoda3" connectionString="Data Source=YourServer;Initial Catalog=UltraFoda3;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
