Visual Studio :: Can't Create Database - VWD2008 SP1 Asking For Sql Server Express 2005
Mar 24, 2010
I've used the WebPI to install SQL Server Express 2008 and VWD2008 SP1. I made sure to install SQL Server first then install VWD. Whenever i use VWD now though and try to add a new SQL Server Database to my website i get the error message "Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly."
I'm a little stuck as to where to proceed with this error. I've un-installed everything web development related and re-installed and still get the same error. I was under the impression that VWD2008 SP1 required SQL Server Express 2008 and wouldn't work with SQL Server Express 2005 so can't understand why it now wants it to be installed.
I know the question has been submitted previously. I am a newbie to those tools. If I access to the database by way of management studio both under the windows integrated authentication and sqlserver authentication, everything works like wonder, but VWD just pop up a warming when I tried to log in the DB, you know, I was not allowed to sign in under sqlserver mode. then it alarmed me that it failed in connecting to the default DB file with my windows account.
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 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 have installed VS Team System 2008 from a dvd on my computer,the setup has installed every thing but failled the installation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.The setup terminates my this error"An error has occured during the installation,Could not install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition". Then I have tried to install sql server 2005 through SQLEXPR.exe. But this .exe file has failed the installation of SQL Server Database Services and MSXML6. Do anybody have any idea why sql server 2005 is not installing on my machine? P.S I haven't installed any other version of VS except this VS 2008.
i'm trying to install MVC on my vwd 2008.i download the tool then install it succesfully i guess.but when i open my vwd2008 and go to create a new website i dont see the mvc template.am i doing something wrong? do i need to install any thing else? i have already install the .net framework 3.5 sp 1
I am using the Visual Studio 2010 Express to create a web site.I created a database using SQL Express,but I decided to copy the mdf file to App_Data folder thinking I then might not need SQL Server running.I used the connection string that points to the database file in App_Data.
I deployed it to the server (Windows 2000 server with .Net 2.0 and SQL Server 2000) using Copy Web Site.I got the following error.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)
My questions are
1. Do I still need SQL Server running even if I used a database in App_Data? 2. On the server SQL Server 2000 is running,why does the error say SQL Server 2005? 3. Are there anything that I have to consider beyond the version of Framework when deploying after development with VS 2010 (Framework 4.0)?
I jsut installed SQL server and management studio on my PC. For management studio, I created a database with tables. However, When I have data connection for SQL server in visual studio express, I couldn' t see the database I created.
Im having a strange problem which i never experienced before, the problem is my visual web developer 2005 express edition is not getting attached to the debugger, i mean when im running my web application it is not debugging the program if im putting any breakpoint, more over i uninstall and again installed visual web developer it worked fine for first time but again it is not working. i only difference is i have Internet explorer 8.I dont exactly know the problem. does any one faced similar problem
I have visual studio 2005 and sql server standard edition installed on my desktop. Im trying to get my head around the authentication and role administration part of visual studio controls.
At the moment Im using the browser version to configure the settings.
While im attempting to access the security tab to develope, users and roles i keep getting a message saying im unable to connect to the database. However, when i use my collogues PC with SQL server express installed it connects with no problems.
Does anyone have an idea how i configure this tool to use SQL server standard edition so i dont have to go back to express?
I noticed that when I download a framework say like "Coolite" and open the solution, and find the Connection to the Database showed up in the Server Explorer.
In some other times, the Connection Dose not show.
I can create a connection to a Database in Server Exploere, but I need say to add it to my Web.Config directly, but not sure how. I am trying to drag-and-drop from the Server Explorer to Web.Config, it is not working.
When and how the Connections to Databases will show in Server Explorer ?
How I can create a connection to a Database using say a Wizard, and add it directly to Web.Config ?

I'm working usually with vs 2005 , i recently installed vs 2010 express and tried to invest it a little What i also did is to open the server explorer and to connect to my sqlserver database thru it (in the 2010 exp).Since then, I can't connect to the sqlManager in my computer. I get:This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionDlg)
I'm trying to access an SQL Server Express database out of an ASP.NET HTTP request handler. The handler is run under ASPNET account and uses "integrated security" in the SQL connection string and so I get an error message saying that login for ASPNET account failed and so I can't access the database. This seems to be a very common problem and most answers say "grant access to you database to user ASPNET".
I only have Visual Studio 2008 and I can't find how to change access permisssions for a database. Specifically I use Tools->Server Explorer and I can see all the tables in the database but can't find how to change access permissions. How do I change access permissions to my database using tools shipped within Visual Studio 2008?
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?
I am just learning application development and my question is so I can demo a project from an Internship for a class at school. I am planning on using Visual Studio 2010 in debug mode for the presentation.
Here it goes:
I created a database utilizing SQL server 2005. I want to take the .mdf file from SQL Server and place it in the App data directory of my application. I am hoping that I do not need to rebuild any datasets that I am currently utilizing. I am utilizing several stored procedures that are in the database, these stored procedure are access utilizing my datasets.
I was able to place the file in the application but I get an exception whenever I try to utilize a stored procedure that was created in the database.
Here is the 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I verified all of my datasets utilize the following connection:
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'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?
I know both these software are old and that I can update to newer version. But I need to do it with those software in particular.I have Visual Studio 2005 and Visual SourceSafe 6 installed on my computer. When I try to open Visual SourceSafe 6 database using Visual SourceSafe 6 directly, I have no problem at all.Then I try to open a project solution I took from SourceSafe using Visual Studio 2005. Right away I receive this messageThe solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found. It is possible that the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file or another item that holds the source control settings for the solution, has been deleted. Because it is not possible to recover this missing information automatically, the projects whose bindings are missing will be treated as not under source control.
Then an invite to chose a SourceSafe Database open. I click on BROWSE. First thing I noticed : The SourceSafe available databases list is empty (while I remind, it's not in SourceSafe 6. I can see there the COMMON database and the VSS database which is located on a different server on our network. Before that, I went in TOOLS->OPTIONS->SOURCE CONTROL, and make sure Visual Source Safe was selected as the Plug-in to use for a Source Control).So I click again on Browse, and locate my srcsafe.ini file. Everything is OK. It evens confirm me that my database path is \dev2k3programmationVSS and that my database name is indeed VSS. So it found it. I then click on OK.
But when I do, the Database is not added to my available list, at all. The result, I can never select a source control, ever, which end in me not being able to work connected to the main source control of our network. Everything is working fine on every other computer in our company. Only this one have problem.Did I give enough description to my problem? I really need help on this one, because working disconnected from Source Safe can give a lot of pain to our team. Can anyone give me an hand? If you need any more info, just ask.

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?
