Why by simply having a .mdf file in the app_data folder it is made
accessible? Does placing a .mdf in the app_data folder does some kind
of attachment? Do this pseudo attachment works only with the express
version of SQL Server? Do this feature works for access databases?
 
its doesn't. the connect string contains the path to the mdf.

Only if it's the Membership database registered into ASP.NET with the aspnet_regsql tool.
Any other database placed there *must* be explicitly made accessible.

Yes, but only for the Membership DB.

No, and it doesn't work for *any* other DB.
