How to re-create a Code First Database once it has been deleted?

Question

I have SchoolContext class that extends DbContext and the connection string in Web.Config

public class SchoolContext : DbContext 
    {   //This class enables CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality 
        public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
        public DbSet<Course> Courses { get; set; }
        public DbSet<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
    }

---

<add name="SchoolContext" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\School.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-WebApplication-20140718100719;Integrated Security=True"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

The database was initially created. I deleted it to check some initializing stuff. But the database is not been created again, it returns an error saying:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot attach the file 'c:\Projects\WebApplication\App_Data\School.mdf' as database 'aspnet-WebApplication-20140718100719'.

App_data folder is empty (since I deleted the database). Maybe there are some remaining links/references I need to remove from the projet?

What am I missing?

How can I re-create a Code First Database once it has been deleted?

Thanks

I finally got it working by removing Initial Catalog=aspnet-WebApplication-20140718100719; from the connection string
