SQL Server - .mdf file reading problem

Hey everyone, I am trying to read an mdf file alone. How can I read it from insi开发者_StackOverflowde Visual Studio 2008? My point here is reading the file without defining a database. I've tried both "Add connection > SQL Server Compact" and "Add connection > SQL Server Database".

Not sure you can do this. You will have to Attach Database in SQL Server to view details.
