Can VS 2010 connect to a SQL 2000 database?
I get this error while using the Data/Connect and SQL Server 2008 R2 comes up.
"The connection failed because this instance of SQL Server is not supported. The Editor cannot connect to SQL Server 2000 or earlier versions."
Our production server is on SQL 2000
I tried to connect to the SQL Server (2000) with the VS 2010 Express. I got error saying "This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later".
View 1 RepliesI have built an ASP.NET classic application that references an ODBC connection to a DBISAM database.
When I try to connect to the same database in a MVC2 application I do not see any option to select an ODBC Data Source.
1. I right-click on my Models folder and select Add -> New Item
2. Choose "Data" on the left panel
3. Select ADO.NET Entity Data Model than click "Add"
Options were:
ADO.NET Entity Data Model
DataSet
LINQ to SQL Classes
SQL Server Database
XML File
XML Schema
XSLT File
4. Select "Generate from database..... click "Next"
5. Here I am presented with a "Choose Your Data Connection" screen. When I click the "New Connection" button I am given a "Choose Data Source" screen.
6. I am only presented with the following options on the "Choose Data Source" screen:
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5
Microsoft SQL Server Database File
<other>
7. This is where I expected to see ODBC as one of my options. What do I need to do to access ODBC?
I have just installed VS2010, and imported a copy of project that uses SQL server 2000 as the database
the project actually runs ok: BUT when I try to use the IDE designer tools to modify a SqlDataSource, or add another SqlDataSource, I get a message" this version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL server 2005 or later."
If I build the SqlDataSource manually, it works OK???
So, anyone have a idea why the IDE designers don't support SQL server 2000, since extended support for that version is still active?
I have been given a .NET type web hosting by my provider along with MSSQL. I am learing what that means and how to use it. Can I use my SQL Server 2008 Management Studio to connect to that SQL over the internet in order to put my database on the web? or how else can I use it?
View 1 RepliesI need to connect to a third-party hosted database. The VPN tunnel is already set up and an IP address has been provided to me, but I'm not sure how to access the database through the tool.
I have tried the Database Solutions tab > Data Connections > and the one listed under this is called "ASPNETD8.MDF", but when I click on this, I get this error message:
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
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 can't seem to add an Access DB to my ASP.Net project. I can see the DB in the Database Explorer Window, but I can't see any of the Tables or Views; nothing at all. I click Test Connection, and I get a message that 'Test Connection Succeeded', but I can't see anything and I don't seem to have any kind of control whatsoever. If I click on the Tables folder, I get this message: 'Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt'. When I double-click directly on the DB, it opens and runs just fine.
The Access DB is on my desktop. Originally developed in Access 2000; using 2007 now. Also, this is VWD and ASP.Net 3.5. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? It seems like a pretty easy thing, but it's turning out to be not quite as easy as I thought.
I have just installed Visual Studio 2010, and I have an 2008 R2 web server, to wich I would like to connect directly through http.
What should I install/setup to get it working?
I have installed visual studio 2010, but I got some problem in connecting to my sql2005.
Whenever after I choose the Server name and database name for new connection, it shows a message that unable to add data connection.
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc, Version= 10.0.0.0, Culture=nertral, PublicKey=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
When I try to connect to my SQL Server 2005 from within the Visual Web Developer 2010 Database Explorer, I get the "This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later" message.If I open up my web project from within VWD 2008, it still works fine.For reference, my SQL 2005 machine is a separate machine than one I installed VWD 2010 on. I did install the ASP.NET 4 framework on the SQL 2005 machine (but not any of the extra tools).

View 1 RepliesI'm getting this problem with one of my web projects. I've looked at [URL] and other suggestions around the place, none of which apply here. The odd thing is, it's occurring with *one* of my new web site projects, but not another one. Odd again is that they're both 100% fresh sites, created with the "New Web Site" option in the File menu, within a day of each other, and nothing has been done to them, apart from a bit of "hello world" html. WebSite1 was created first, and Cassini worked when I first created it the other day. A day later, I created WebSite2 and Cassini worked (and still works) with that one.
However, when I open WebSite1, I get the above error code - again, it was working fine the other day, and WebSite2 works fine. I've compared their .sln file - so differences apart from the VWDPort number used, and of course the path to the site and various GUIDs. Everything else is identical. Same with comparing web.config files. No differences there at all. So I'm stumped - why would Cassini start up fine with WebSite2 (and subsequent sites I create) but suddenly stop working for the WebSite1 project, when it was working ok a couple of days ago?
Whenever i run the project this problem occur Can any one give me solution. should i have to delete webdev.webserver.exe and install another is this the right solution for my problem.

Not too long ago I was given a new PC with windows 7 Professional on it. Before, I had vs 2008 running on win xp which worked OK. I started getting error msg (Unable to connect to ASP.NET development server) after I installed vs 2008 (version 9.0.30729.1 sp1 vs team system dev. edition) and ran one of my projects and even a simple test project. The first msg shows the syntax of webdev.webserver with an example in the bottom. I can get this error by running the project or by showing any page in the browser. I noticed that file WebDev.WebServer.EXE does not appear in the folder C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv3.5. If that's the only reason why I am having this problem than how can I fix it. I was told that .net framework 3.5 works on top of .net framework 2.0?! I just want to sort out this .net framework mess on my new machine. I am willing to uninstall all .net framework and start fresh. Another thing that I am willing to try is to get from a coworker the WebDev.WebServer.EXE (from the .net framework 3.5 folder) and see if it works.

View 3 RepliesI 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 used the ASP.net Web Site Administration tool to create a database with two users and two roles. The database created successfully and is showing up in Solution Explorer in the App_Data folder of my project, as expected. The problem is, that when I click on the database I get an error message saying that "SQL Server database files (.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Server 2008 Express to be installed and running on the local computer." I, in fact, have 3 versions of SQL Server running on my computer. SQL Server Express (default instance), SQL Server Express (named instance for Outlook 2010 Business Contact Manager), and SQL Server 2008 R2 (Developer Edition). If I create a new connection in Server Explorer and then attach the database file, it attaches fine. It's only in Solution Explorer that it somehow is not connecting.
