Visual Studio :: Using Server Explorer In 2005 And Database Connections?
Mar 27, 2010
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'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 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:
<add name="DerrickConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|Derrick.mdf";Integrated Security=True; Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True "
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Get methods that I built with the query builder in VS work but stored procedures do not.

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 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.

Weird Sunday morning question: I routinely drag files into my projects from Windows Explorer. But I just created a new project and I get the slashed circle every time I try to drag in a file from Windows Explorer. I closed the project and opened another one just to confirm that I wasn't having a foggy Sunday morning problem but I _am_ able to drag files into the this other project. Trying to drag the same file into my new project won't work. What's up with this?!

I added a DateTime column to a table in my database through the Server Explorer. Because the team lead for this project wasn't savvy on nullable types, one of the requirements was that there be no null values in the database. This requires me to program all sorts of useless code into the system, but that's another story. My problem arises when assigning a default value to this column. I typed the following into the cell for the "Default Value or Binding":
1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM
When I went to inspect the content of the table, I found that all of the dates had been populated with:
1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM

I work with Visual studio 2005 and Sql server data base. I extract 1 million rows from a database and I put the rows in a Sql table. With a simple direct extraction, in a few minutes I complete the operation:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(query, cnSql)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmd.Dispose().
But, if I must select and modify some fields between extraction and introduction, it takes a lot of time!
I work in this way. I extract rows from Dbase, Table1, and I put all into a Collection using dataReader:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(query, cnSql)
Dim coll As New Collection
coll.Clear()
Dim dr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
I replace some fields with the string "YES".
Dim toRepl As String = ""
If dr.HasRows Then
Do While dr.Read
toRepl = dr(5).ToString
If Len(toRepl) <= 3 Then ToRepl = "YES"
collPrel.Add(dr(0).ToString)
collPrel.Add(dr(1).ToString)
.................. ..............
collPrel.Add(toRepl)
collCount = collCount + 1
Loop
End If
dr.Close()
cmd.Dispose()
Now, I insert all into a SQL Table2:
Dim a As String = "", b As String = "", c As String = "" etc.
For i = 1 To collPrel.Count Step 6
a = collPrel.Item(i).ToString
b = collPrel.Item(i + 1).ToString
.............. ...............
f = collPrel.Item(i + 5).ToString
queryIns = "INSERT INTO Tab (name, adress, etc)
VALUES ('" & a & "', '" & b & "', '" & c & "', etc. )
Dim cmdIns As New SqlCommand(queryIns, cnSql)
cmdIns.CommandTimeout = 600
cmdIns.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmdIns.Dispose()
Next
This way to work goes right but it is necessary a lot of time for completing the operation.

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 just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.
