Right click on your Web Application and select Add
-> Add ASP.NET Folder
-> App_Data
Or just add it as a standard folder.

I tried like this, still I don't have access for this option... Normal folder is not this same. App_Date have specific rules – AdamLato Mar 02 '14 at 16:25

Then just add it as a normal folder. It's absolutely the same. There's no difference. – Darin Dimitrov Mar 02 '14 at 16:25

App_Data is a special directory in ASP.NET which already has the correct security access permissions for database access. – AdamLato Mar 02 '14 at 16:28

Yes, it's special from ASP.NET perspective, but it's not special at all in terms of Windows directory. I don't know why this option wouldn't be available to you in VS (one thing that comes to mind is because you don't have an ASP.NET project), but I assure you that you can add it as an absolutely standard folder. Because of its name, it will be treated specifically by ASP.NET. – Darin Dimitrov Mar 02 '14 at 16:28

Oki will add normal folder and we will see what application will say me. Thanks for your time. – AdamLato Mar 02 '14 at 16:53
