VB.NET Sql Server database file

Hi, i have been wasting to much time i don't have trying to figure this thing out and hope somebody can help.

I am making a project for school in VB.NET.
I have SQL SERVER 2005 installed on my machine.
I can access the database just fine thru Visual Studio 2008. But, i know that i am going to have to hand the project in eventually. So, my first thought was to make a copy of the database (MDF) and store it locally within my solution. I would then just access the MDF directly and run all the stored procs and what not. I am pretty sure at this point that that is impossible. Is it possible?

If it is not possible i need a way/a place to store the database so that the marker can access the database file over the internet. If i can use my home computer that would be fine but i don't know how to set that up. It would be nice if there was something online where i could upload my MDF file and it would allow me to access it thru VS. I don't think that exists either. Once i have that set up, i need to make sure that i know what the connection string needs to be.

This is giving me a huge headache and i would be so thankful to anyone who can lend a hand. I just need a quick fix as this is not a permanent application.
