Is the MS documentation wrong or does the program really live in App_Data

Says:
The |DataDirectory| is a shortcut for the directory where the program
opening the connection lives. To

But I've been using:
Initial Catalog=|DataDirectory|AspnetDB

to get the files in App_Data



Is the documentation wrong, does the program really live in App_Data or
what?



Thanks

English is not my native language but it seems to be poorly worded.
Technically speaking :

Resolves to a relative path to a mapping and metadata files. This is the
value that is set through the AppDomain.SetData("DataDirectory", objValue)
method.
(from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc716756.aspx)


I would have said something such :

- this is a placeholder that will be replaced by the data directory used by
this program to store its data (defaults to App_Data for a web
application)...
