Visual Studio :: VWD2008 Express Failed In Connecting To SqlServer2005 Express?
Apr 30, 2010
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.
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 have been using VWD2010 Express for a website that I am working on. Due to a delay in implementing the 4.0 framework at the hosting service that I use, I need to finish up with VWD2008 Express. Is there a simple way to save my project so that it is compatible with 2008?
Is it possible to configure and use IIS Express with Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express? If yes, Please guide me how to configure it?I have installed IIS express without Web Matrix using iisexpress_x86_en-US.msi I am able to run IIS express from command prompt but failed to configure my web site/application with IIS express. I want to configure my web site to launchun on IIS express when i press F5 :)
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?
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've wrote the comprehensive post within my blog: [URL] In brief words everything is simple:
1. I've downloaded free Visual Studio C# 2010 Express and Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express 2. I've successfully installed these versions. 3. I've tried registration online - and got the appropriate keys which I've used for registration.
Finally all the keys I've got are not valid for the system - and after 30 days evaluation (for free version?) period all these products are not running anymore because all the keys I am providing from online registration are invalid.
I started working on a website using 2010 Express. However, the hosting company that I am using hasn't fully implemented .NET 4.0. I'm wondering if there is a way that I can save my website for compatability with 2008 express. Then I can finish and publis using 2008 Express.
I have been developing my web application using ASP.Net with Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. I would like to be able to create some fairly simple reports. I understand that in some of the higher versions of Express their is a report creation program called "Crystal Reports" but it is not available in the "Express" edition.
Is there some way that I can create reports in the Express Edition?
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 uninstalled VWD 2010 Express Beta2. Then installed latest Release(April 12th) via Web Platform Installer .oh yes after installing XP Service Pack 3.
It all installed successfully and when I start the VWD 2010 express image comes up ....there is this fine text that says....
"For Evaluation Purpose Only"
"Use of this software should be limited to evaluation purpose only"
Being confused with that message I looked at Help->About VWD 2010 Express and right on top it says:
"29 days remaining"
So what's happening ? Did I install some wrong product... I don't think so...I used Web Platform Installer and yes it is "Visual Web Developer 2010 Express" and not a Professional Trial software.
I'm totally new to ASP.NET ( as a VC++ 6.0 engineer ), I have just downloaded the express edition of 2010 web developer and cannot find for the life of me the correct project template to create an ASP.NET webservice.. in 2008 it appears there is an option for this .. however I cannot find it in 2010..
just a quick question, are there a lot of developers using the express edition to make web sites, or is it limited to what you can do, and I would be better getting the full edition visual studio 2010. I have been using dreamweaver, but I wanted to try my hand at asp.net, thx for any info you can offer.
i create a asp.net web aplication project, and when i debug it i can see the result on localhost that is ok. but how can i publish this site on the web? there is no publish button ont the build menu and solution explorer menu?
I have a form that I'm working on in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I have a dropdown list to choose a data from the database. I want to use the chosen list item to populate a GridView object. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do.I have a data connection which uses a fixed SQL statement to populate the dropdown list and that works fine. I can select an item on the list and retrieve the correct information for the next query (namely an ID value for the next SQL statement).I have the data connection with another SQL statement to populate the gridview and that works fine. The gridview is currently just showing the entire dataset (it doesn't use the item that was selected in the dropdown list.Now I want to change the gridview's data connection to use the selected item in the dropdown list as a parameter to modify the SQL statementWhen I look at the properties of the data connection for the gridview data, I can bring up the Query properties and see the select statement. I also see the properties panel. I can add a property Name (Mine is "ID"). I then chose "Control" in Parameter Source and selected the ControlID for the dropdown list that has the ID information that I want to use for the parameter. I went into the advanced properties and modified some of the information because the ControlID is a Text field and the Database Column is a BigInt.My select statement looks like this:
[Code]....
What I don't know is how to get the parameter into the select statement.I've tried:
As of recently there is a express edition of the IIS 7. It is bundled with this crazy new tool Web Matrix [URL]. A real IIS instead of the development server in Visual Studio would have many advantages. Does anybody know, if this IIS edition can be separately downloaded? Can it be installed on Windows XP (Professional) ? If yes, are there conflicts with the old IIS 5.1 on XP? Can it be integrated in Visual Studio (2008, 2010)?
I am needing to produce some technical documentation for a web app I have been developing. I have been using XML commenting with a view to using sandcastle to create my documents. The problem is that I can't see how it works with express as there are no XML document settings in the build options.
Can sandcastle be used with express and if not does anyone know of any (free) tools that I can use to automatically create my documentation?
I currently doing a website that require to have a report for higher management, but i cant seem to have the crystal report tool in my MS Visual Web Developer.
When using Visual Web Developer Express there seems to be an issue when trying to insert a DDL into the Wizard. If I create a Wizard, and then insert a DDL inside the wizard, the source shows, correctly,
However, if I return to the Design view and use the Smart Tasks button to 'Edit Items', although I can complete the relevant details in the 'ListItem Collection Editor' they are not transferred to the source. If I use exactly the same procedure on a DDL outside the Wizard everything functions correctly.
I use Firefox to browse the web, but I'd like Force Visual Web Developer 2010 Express to exclusively use Internet Explorer when I run my web apps (by pressing F5). is there a way to set this?
