SQL Server :: How To Change Default SQL Express Instance
Nov 23, 2010
I have 2 instances of SQL Express installed:
SQL 2005 -> .SQLEXPRESS
SQL 2008 R2 -> .SQL2008
I have Visual Studio 2010 configured to use .SQL2008 by default in Tools->Options->Database Tools. In Server Explorer, it tells me that it's connecting to the database via 2008.
However, when I run an ASP.NET sample I downloaded (that has it's own ASPNETDB.MDB file), I get a version error (612 vs. 655). I understand that means it's connecting to the 2005 instance instead of the 2008 instance.
How can I make it connect to the 2008 instance? The web.config file has no connection strings, so everything is default.

When i created a simple site via Matrix which adopts Razor technology by default, i found site automatically display "default.cshtml" if started through "http://localhost:xxxx/bread/" ; however i hadn't set "default.cshtml" as "default document" for this site, even i seek in the "applicationhost.config" i just find
<defaultDocument enabled="true">
<files>
<add value="Default.htm" />
<add value="Default.asp" />
<add value="index.htm" />
<add value="index.html" />
<add value="iisstart.htm" />
<add value="default.aspx" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
which apparently hasn't "...cshtml" yet. So I am wondering now why in this case the web server actively sets "default.cshtml" as default start page ?

I am working on sql server 2000.I have only one instance running on SQL SERVER 2000.I have the instance name as 'ashvinDIT0934/sys07DIT' registered somehow.But i need to have it simply as 'mycompanyname' (no changes but as 'mycompanyname'). how i could change it and have the instance name changed.The instance name that i have given above i.e (ashvinDIT0934/sys07DIT) when inserted into the connectionstring does not work.It says as invalid escape sequence.So hence i need to have it as 'mycompanyname'

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.

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'm trying to open SQL 2008 Express .mdf file in VS 2008 but I got the "...A downgrade path is not supported...." error. I have SQL 2005 express with its management studio too.
I expect that SQL 2008 express was installed with VS2008 because when I try to install it again the installation wizard shows that I have it installed already with Service Pack1.
I read the solution on some threads:
In Visual Studio, go to Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> Database Connections, fill the SQL Server Instance Name with the name of SQL Server 2008 Express instance But how do I know the name of SQL Server 2008 Express instance?

I installed Visual Web Developer 2010 on a machine that already had SQL Server 2008 Professional on it. Now that machine is running both SQL 2008 Professional and SQL 2008 Express instances.
Is there an easy way to uninstall the Express instance?

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'd like to learn more about MS Business Intelligence Development Studio. I'm doing this on my own, so I'd like to keep my software costs down. It's my understanding that BIDS comes with the download for SQL Server, but is used in Visual Studio (by creatign a BIDS project). Is this accurate? My question is - Is it possible to get a working copy of BIDS by downloading SQL Server Express and Visual Studio Express?

Im having an issue when I create a new ASP.NET Web Application within Visual Studio 2010, this creates a web.config configured to use SQLEXPRESS. The default web.config that VisualStudio generates for New Web Application Projects still points to the SQLServerExpress Database which I had previously removed! The only instance that I have now is SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer. The web.config that is created along with other files for the for New Web Application Projects template:
[Code]....
The question is how can I change this web.config thats created with the ASP.NET Web Project template automatically from Visual Studio 2010? I can go in and modify the web.config by hand obviously. It doesnt make sense to have the web.config automatically created this way whereby the connectionstrings point to SQLServer Express that does not exist. I did in stall Visual Studio 2010 which included SQLServerExpress, but that I later removed. Now is VisualStudio always going to create web.config's pointing to SQLServer Express?

In fact, I DO NOT want to ask a question but to share one solution to this. One cause of this problem is you did not register your sql express on iis.I installed .net 3.5 sp1, then ran aspnet_iis -i, then installed sql express 2005 advanced. Yes, here came the notorious alert. So, I ran aspnet_regiis again and everything is OK.Run aspnet_regiis before you have installed sql express.

I am using Sql Server 2008 to connect to a Remote Server. Everything was working fine for the last couple of months, and i was successfully connecting to the remote server. Today it suddenly stopped connecting to the remote server. note that i did not alter any configuration settings. Did my isp block Sql Server. My ISP is using ISA SERVER? The error details are:

By default ASP.NET MVC uses ContentResult for controller method that return result not inherited from actionresult type. That is why if we will return some poco entity it will be only its type name.Could I overload something in controller to make it return jsonresult by default.Example:// return json product representation instead of product typename
public MyController: Controller
{
public Product MyAction()
{
return new Product { Name = "Foo", ID = 1 };
[code]...

I just ran a project that I've been working on and the project couldn't connect to the sql server engine. This project worked fine yesterday. This morning I installed the new Adobe Flash player 10.0. That's the only thing that's changed sine I last worked with my project.
I got an exception for the sql server error when I run my app. This is the exception from the app:

I tried to connect to the engine with the ssms but couldn't connect that way either. This gave me an error that said:TITLE: Connect to Server
