DataSource Controls :: Add An Existing MDF File To SQL Server 2005 Express?
May 5, 2010
I created an MDF file in VS 2008 in the Solutions Explorer window and can see the file path for this file as:
C:Documents and SettingsAdminMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008WebSitesAddSQLRecordsApp_Data
But when I try to add this MDF file in SQL Server 2005 Express, I click the Add button but cannot find this exact path above. How do I find this? I am running this on a 32-bit XP OS.
I have a problem, I have created a website that is run on local host database is make in 2005 sql server
now i am using sql 2008 and visual studio 2010 , I attach the sql 2005 mdf file in sql 2008 server and run it working correctly when we host it then it is not working
problem gives "NT NETWORK SERVICE FAILED "
how we can convert the sql 2005 mdf file to sql 2008 file.
I am developing a C# VS 2008 / SQL Server 2005 Express website application. I have tried some of the fixes for this problem but my call stack differs from others. And these fixes did not fix my problem. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this?

After I installed Visual Studio 2008 Standard edition, then I upgrade "SQL Server Express 2005" to "SQL Server Express 2008 SP2". Process upgrading SQL Server Express 2008 was going succesfully (none of the process was fail).
But when I create a New Website I could not add a new item "SQL Server Database" into my website file. Because Visual Studio always rejected any new "SQL Server Database" by giving message below (underline):
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported.
I have installed sql server 2008 express along with visual web developer 2008 express (latest sp1) using web installer now I downloaded this file:
'Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express with Advanced Services' from here: [URL] but when I run the installer and choose add new features to existing instance of sql server I get no full text search feature option in the list, There are only a few options that are selected and greyed out (because they are installed previously) in the list of available features. Why I don't have full text search feature in the list and how to find and install it? (mine is the 64bit version)
I used SQL SERVER 2008 R2 express as my web development database and I set its compatibility level to 2005. Unfortunately this database cannot be be attached to SQL server 2005. Are there any other options?
we can open an SQL Server 2005 DB in SQL Server Management Studio 2008 EXPRESS, woith out it converting to 2008?We want to connect to a remote sql 2005 server in sql server management studio 2008 EXPRESS.
I'm using an ODBC connection to connect a SQL 2005 database to my ASP.NET app in Visual Web Developer Express. I'm finding that the expected functionality that tutorials review does not work for ODBC connected databases the same way as it does for SQL databases created in the Web Developer. For example, I can't use stored procedures because the option to create one is disabled in the Web Developer, and if I create the stored procedure in SQL Server Management Studio Express, it doesn't show up in Web Developer because Web Developer only finds the system stored procedures, not the user-defined ones. I've seen other cases as well where database management options in Web Developer don't work with ODBC databases.
Am I missing something in my setup, or is there an inherent limitation with ODBC connected databases? Or, is this a limitation with using the Express versions of these development tools?
i had the sql 2008 enterprise and i want to go back to sql server 2005 because in 2008 i created new database but when i did some changes in the table , it gave me an eror that i cant save thins and i need to creat new one if some one know what i'm talking aboutif not i need the sql server installation tutorial i tried by myself but probebly i did it wrong and now i cant connect well to the sql
I have FileUpload Control; I need to remove the file content from the control once the operation is done. I am trying to dispose the Filecontrol object but no luck.
In machine XPSP2, I tried to install SQL SErver 2005 express edition (downloaded from the microsoft site) - after mode selction form (Windows/SQL server authentication) - system restarted, automatically.Again restarted, Again restarted,Again restarted,Again restarted,a 1000 times or more.finally I unplugged the system from the UPS
i have create My WebSite in asp.net 3.5 and SQL SERVER Managment Studio 2005 EXPRESS , every thing Work GREAT with out any problem when i run it on LOCALHOST,
but my Big Problem Idont Know What The Steps RUN it On Server Specially:
1- i Have Create My OWN SQL Data Base file with its own Stored Procedures, and its in the Same Folder of My Project.
2-whats about WebConfig? what i should write in it?
I'd just gotten the MVC application I'm working on to connect to the database when the machine it was on went down. Now, for development purposes, I've installed the database on my local SQL Server 2005 Express installation. I jumped through all the hoops for getting the connection set up. I have:
Opened the Surface Area Configuration and set it to allow Local and remote connections. In the same area, I set the SQL Server Browser to Automatic startup and started it. In SQL Server Mgmt Studio Express, under Security/Logins, I added a user with a Server Role of 'sysadmin' and in User Mapping for the specific database in question I checked 'db_owner'. I also restarted the services and then rebooted the machine when restarting the services didn't work. But it's still giving me the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Here's the weird part. I can open SQL Server Mgmt Studio Express and log in with the user I created as described above. Login is successful, and I have complete access to the database. In Server Explorer, I've set up a connection to this exact same database without any problems. I can connect to it and list the tables, get their data, etc., no problem. I can also use the "osql" command to connect to and retrieve data from the same database.
It seems safe to say that the database is definitely there and can be connected to. So, I thought there must be something wrong with my connection string. Since the Server Explorer is connecting to and displaying data from the database, I copied its connection string, which looks a lot like this:
Data Source=myServerSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=myDatabase;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=SwinglineUser;Password=***********
Of course, the Password has been replaced with the actual password (just in case someone thought I might have forgotten that step). So, absolutely everything I try connects to the database without the slightest issue, except for my MVC application. I'm not sure what else to try. Could there be some difference in how to set things up if you're connecting to a local server?
I have my entire database for current application in sql express 2005.
I wish to change my db to SQL Server 2008 after i read online that SQL Express is not supported by godaddy.
What steps should I take in order to do so? Do I manually have to create tables in the sql server 2008 database with the same properties as in SQL Express 2005.
I do not have much data in the tables so that is not an issue.
I downloaded some project from some site which is made in VS 2003. When I open its project file in Notepad I get following at first line Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 8.00. I don't have VS 2003 in my PC but I have VB 2005 and 2008 Express Edition. Now I wanted to upgrade that file but it is not doing.
i have using sql server 2005 express managment studio, i have create my database and every thing just i want to extact Database and attach it to My asp.net 3.5 Project how?
I recently purchased a new computer running Windows 7 Home, and after installing Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express, I am unable to connect to the database using the "Connect To Database" wizard. I get the following error:
"This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later."
The version of SQL Server 2005 Express I've downloaded is directly from the Microsoft site and I also downloaded the SP3 to be used with Windows 7, x64 (which I presumed was a later version of the database). I am able to connect to the database programatically, but I would like to get the wizard functionality working as well (as I am unable to add a database to my projects, using the "Add New Item" wizard either).
I'm completely new to both VB.NET and JSON, and I'm trying to figure out how to do SQL queries towards an SQL 2005 Express server and format the return value to JSON. I got the queries working using this (perhaps very newbie-like) code;
Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.Web.UI Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls Partial Public Class SQLConnect Inherits System.Web.UI.Page 'Defines SQL variables Dim con As New SqlConnection Dim cmd As New SqlCommand Dim dr As SqlDataReader Dim ReadData As String Dim i As Integer Sub Click(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) 'Define SQL address, database, username and password con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=tempdb;User ID=tesst;Password=test" Try 'Initialize connection con.Open() 'Specify SQL query cmd = New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Member", con) 'Execute query, dump result array into variable dr = cmd.ExecuteReader() messageLabel.Text = "<br />Connection established<br />" While (dr.Read) i = 0 For i = 0 To dr.FieldCount - 1 'Dump query results into a variable ReadData += dr.Item(i).ToString Next End While 'Print query results messageLabel2.Text = ReadData 'Close connection con.Close() Catch ex As Exception messageLabel.Text = "<br />Connection failed<br />" End Try End Sub End Class
I have been looking at this, and I would love to see some code examples using this class or any other good method.
