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 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:
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) I am using Microsoft Firewall Client For ISA Server for opening ports. But today nothing is working.

This is probably an easy one, but can I use SQL Server Management Studio Express to work on a regular SQL Server database?

Would something be missing, not working, or confusing if I do this? First, install SQL Server 2008 Standard, and SP1. Then, install Visual Studio 2010 Professional, unchecking SQL Server 2008 Express option. Or would I need to fix any configurations afterwards?

I'm trying to publish an ASP.NET website over an IIS 6.0 (Windows 2003 Server), and I have some troubles trying to connect to the database. Curiously, I have installed another ASP.NET website into the same IIS 6.0 with the same properties and security parameters and can connect without problems with the same database. The application that works fine is almost the same that the one that can't connect with SQL Server (actually is the same but with several modifications).I'll enumarate some information related to the problem:
S.O: Windows 2003 Server
SQL Server Engine: SQL Server 2008 SQL Server accept remote connections? Yes.
ASP.NET version: 2.0.50727
The connections via TCP/IP are enabled to the SQL Server instance? Yes.
The corresponding user that I have in the connection string, actually exists into the database with the "owner" role? Yes.
ORM Tool used: nHibernate
I get the following error when I try to run the aplication into the browser:
Error while establishing a connection
to the server. When connecting to SQL
Server 2005, this failure may occur
because the default settings SQL
Server does not allow remote
connections. (provider: Shared Memory
Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL Server)
I made some test. For example, using the web app that works fine I can connect without any problema with the database that uses the web app that can't. With this evidence I concluded that the problem is within the web app and not into the SQL Server instance.

I am fairly new to ASP.net - comming from a PHP / MYSQL background sometimes certain things in ASP.net confuse the hell out of me. In PHP - when writing an application you always connect to an external database server (MYSQL , PostGreSQL ) using a username and password and aswell a datbase server address(mostly localhost). Now with ASP.net i noticed that you can connect to an existing database within SQL server or you can create a local database in the App_Data folder.
The local database seems much easier to work with however my concern is what would you store in a local database? surely you cannot use it as a main database to store all your data(compared to a MYSQL database)? Secondarily with SQL server - when i login into SQL server management express , it uses "Windows Authetication" , i tried to select "Sql Server authentication" and enter my own username and password to login but that did'nt work. How do i deploy a database from SQL server to the web? - in MYSQL for example we would have a SQL dump file , which can be simply imported/exported from server to server.

Is it possible to connect to a SQL Server Express 2008 database in ASP.NET with a server name of (local) like "server=(local);integrated security=SSPI;database=DBNAME"? I'm working with another developer on a project and it's getting annoying having to have 2 different version of web.config because he is using SQL Server 2008 and (local) works, but I can't seem to get it to work with SQL Server 2008 Express locally. The database is located on the same computer as the .NET code in case that matters.

I have SQL server management studio express install on one machine.
I am able to connect to that machine or able to ping that machine from my computer.
I have code which return me the SQL server instances on same network. Using that I am able to get that SQL server instance. I have configured SQL express to access remote connection. i.e.
Configured SQL express to accept named / TCP IP instance connection. Started Browser service.
My machine settings My machine has been configured to set dynamic IP address using DHCP protocol
When I am trying to connect to above mentioned SQL server I am getting error that "Failed to connect SERVER NAME\SQLEXPRESS".
But if I configured my machine with manual IP address and default gateway I am able to connect to same SQL server.
I got the solution to connect to that server but I don't know why I am facing such problem. And also let me know that is the solution I am using is correct or not?

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).

For my database I create a new query and wrote
select * from dbname
using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005. Saved it by name SQLQuery1.sql on the desktop. Now I would like to call this query from C# code when an ASP.NET button is clicked and display the results in a gridview. How do I call the query? Can I tell Visual Studio 2008 to please execute the query stored in 'sqlquery1.sql' ? Where do I store the results so that I can bind them the display controls like a gridview, or traverse the data? This is a website in C#, ASP.NET, Visual Studio 2008, and database is on the same computer using SQL Server 2005 Express

I installed sqlserver 2008 R2 on my laptop for development and am sure I sellected mixed mode for connecting. Anyway, I have been using it for a while with asp.net and when using sql server management studio connecting using windows authentication, everything
has been fine. I now need to connect to sql server using a login and password (installing umbraco) but cant seem to do this. I have tried connecting through sql server management studio using sql authentication with sa account but it always fails with error "login failed for user .... 18456". I have changed sa password in sql server management studio (as I can log in using windows authentication) but this did not work. I also created new users but still could not connect.

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?

I have an ASP.NET 3.5 app with a SQL 2005 Express .mdf database file in its App_Data folder. Lets call that Foo.mdf. On its own the ASP.NET app can connect to the database with no problems. So far so good. Then, if I install Sql Server Management Studio Express on the server and start it, it finds the local SQLEXPRESS instance and connects to it, but doesn't show Foo.mdf in the list of databases.
So I try and Attach Foo.mdf by right-clicking on databases and selecting Attach.. and finding the .MDF. This fails with a vague error:
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 32(error not found)
while attempting to open or create the physical file
'C:inetpubwwwrootFooAppApp_DataFoo.mdf'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5123)
If I stop my ASP.NET site in IIS, then the attach does work, but then when I restart my ASP.NET app, it can't connect to Foo.mdf. So it looks like SQL Express 2005 will only let either my app or Management Studio connect. This seems really crap - surely Sql Express should allow more than one connection? I was expecting it to behave like regular Sql Server.

Using the Web Platform installer, in installed both the Visual Web Developer Express 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008. Next, I connected to my local SQL Server Express 2008 and created a simple database and table using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 where the database file resided in the app data folder of my website. I can connect and explore the table from both Visual
Web Developer 2008 as well as the full blown version of Visual Studio 2008.
