View 3 RepliesIt works perfectly the first time I install SSMS 2008 Express and I can access my remote database. But, after I restart my machine and open an instance of SSMS the database node is missing.

I tried refreshing the database folder but still nothing. I even uninstall but it's still the same.
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?

And here is the related code. When I debugged this code, "dic" only looped through the 3 column names, but did not look into row values which are stored in "dt", the Data Table.
public static string AppendDataCT(DataTable dt, Dictionary<string, string> dic)
{
if (dic.Count != 3)
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("dic can only have 3 parameters");
string connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AW3_string"].ConnectionString;
string errorMsg;
try
{
using (SqlConnection conn2 = new SqlConnection(connString))
{
using (SqlCommand cmd = conn2.CreateCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "dbo.AppendDataCT";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Connection = conn2;
foreach (string s in dic.Keys)
{
SqlParameter p = cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(s, dic[s]);
p.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar;
}
conn2.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn2.Close();
errorMsg = "The Person.ContactType table was successfully updated!";
}
}
}
Hopefully this is a simple question. I am filling in for someone out.
We currently are using 2008 Express. Do I need to remove this prior to installing 2008 Developer, or can I simply just install over.
is there any difference between sql express and sql client. Actually I have been told to install a sql client using which i will connect to the sql server installed remotely. Also I have sql express edition 2008 installed on my machine. So is it the same. Will I be able to connect to the sql server using the sql server express edition.?
View 2 RepliesAfter 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 created an MDF file in VS 2008 in the Solutions Explorer window and can see the file path for this file as:

I have attached two databases (from an ASP.NET application to SQL Express). They have attached fine and are working alright but what disturbs me is when I go and check it from SQL management studio, I could see those databases at attached in SQLExpress but I couldn't open it out them there. I need to update them with many records and I want to open them. Any clue what I am missing? I could have sent you the screen shot but I dont know how to attach an image in this thread.
View 4 RepliesI 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'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?
quick question on SQL Studio Mgt Expres (SSMES) 2208. I have been googling around but could not find a clear cut answer to this simple issue:Is it possible to connect to a remote db using SSMES 2008? The options at login appear to be restricted to Database Engine and SQL Server Compact Edition only. On the SSME 2005 version, there was an option to connect to remote db's usging server name & pwd. Has this feature been disabled in the 2008 Express version?

View 2 RepliesI have been attempting to install sql server express 2008 but have come across problems. I downloaded it via web platform installer and it ran the install process, and I thought this would be it, but then upon creating some wizard log in controls on a website they won't work because its not installed. Then i relised I can't actually run the program, only some of its features. I then found the Installation centre and thought, oh I haven't actually installed it yet, and when I select new SQL server stand-alone installation or add features, instead of going through the process like it states on tutorials for installs, it asks me to browse for installation media, which I do not have because I downloaded the express edition.
View 3 RepliesI used that Microsoft Windows installer and installed visual web developer 2008 express and sql server 2008 so I thought. visual web developer works find.
When I look at sql server 2008 all I see is import export data link.
and the configuration tools.
In the configuration tools I see the following:
sql server configuration manager.
sql server error and usage reporting
sql server installation center.
So I figure sql server 2008 was not fully installed.d
I open the installation center and went to system configuration checker but I get a dialog
box that say browse for sql server 2008 installation media.
I have vs2008 . I wat sql server and management tools .

I have written a website in ASP.NET with a back-end database using SQL Express 2008. My database is created and put in the App_Data folder. It is ok when it runs on my local machine. However, when I upload to the web server, I got the error: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and ettingsDesktopProject2_ISAM5337App_DataEvent.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. By the way, I notice a same probelm : When I move my project to a location which is different from specific path for my database, I got the same error message .
View 1 RepliesAfter reimaging my hard drive, I reinstalled SQL Server Express 2008, this time using the Windows Platform Installer for the first time. Tried running websites within VS2008 and VS2010 and can't connect to database. Tried to turn on using Sql Server Config Manager. Won't turn on. Also tried to connect via Sql Server Management Studio 2008, but got this error:
A network-related or instance specific error occured....the server was not found or was not accessable.
I am playing around with WebMatrix ans SQL CE 4.0. I wanted to load up a SQL CE V4.0 db from an Access db.
Tried to connect SSMS Exp to SQL 4.0 sdf file (created in WebMatrix starter site template) and was rejected with the following error that SSMS Express is not yet "aware" of SQL CE V4.0):
Cannot connect to C:Users....App_DataStarterSite.sdf.
This is not a valid SQL Server Compact Database file or this file version is not supported by current SQL Server Compact Engine. (SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider)
[code]...
The sdf file is "a valid SQL Server Compact Database file" - it works fine in WebMatrix.
What do I need to do to make SQL CE 4.0 files kosher for SSMS Express? The error messages suggest that I need to update the SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider, however I might do that.
I am trying to transfer some tables and stored procedures from SQL Server 2005 to Express 2008. I have tried using Management studio, but it isn't working....

View 3 RepliesUsing Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with what I'm assuming is Sql 2008 Express. Using SqlDataSource, when I try to configure a data source, I'm able to input a server name: (local)sqlexpress and the "Test Connection" button shows that it was successful. However, if I type in a new database table name and VWD 2008 asks if I would like to create it, I keep getting the message: "OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF AN OBJECT." No idea what that means or how to fix it. I can't open theDatabase Explorer View.
