Visual Studio :: VWDExpress 2010 Compatibility With SQL Server 2008 R2?
Jan 30, 2011
I recently set up a new development machine for myself back in November, and naively downloaded the then-current versions of VWD Express (2010) and SQL Server Express (2008 R2). Bummer to find out that they are not compatible. VWDE 2010 won't deal with a database version beyond 655, while SQL Server 2008 R2 is 661. It's puzzling that Microsoft shows the following in its Express website [URL]Powerful Set of Free ToolsMicrosoft® Visual Web Developer® 2010 Express provides you with everything you need to start building standards-friendly Web applications.SQL Server® 2008 R2 Express Edition is a lightweight, feature-rich, powerful database for your Web data-enabled needs.
Has the issue already been fixed (i.e. if I reinstall VWD 2010 Express today, will it now handle version 661 databases? Or will the issue be fixed at some point in the future? Or is it necessary (and even possible) to remove R2 and install plain SQL Server 2008 to get databases that VWDE 2010 will work with?
I am looking at developing using Visual Studio 2010/2008 and SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7. Should I be able to do this on Windows 7 Professional, or do you need Windows 7 Ultimate?
I lately installed vwd express, and including this installation I installed (automatically) also the sql express 2008.I had a problem with my vwd, and I got an advice of removing it and install again. I removed it, and removed also the sql express. Now I understand that I probably shouldn't have done it, but I did.I also removed manually some folders that relate to the sql server (after I unistalled the sqlserver thru "add remove programs").I reinstalled the vs 2008 express, but this time it didn't install again the sql express.I entered to this page: [URL] and tried to install it by myself. It opened the installation
and after a few seconds it said that the sql was installed. Maybe it still recognizes something that was left...I entered the registry and deleted the relate files to sqlserver. I tried to install again, but still the same phenomena.I need an advice what to do. I have no problem with uninstall the vs 2008 express, and install it all over again, but I knowthat again - the sql won't be installed.I hope I gave here all the required details.
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 want to use SQL Server 2008 Web Edition with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. (Both are installed fine on Windows 7).I know I can change the entry in Data Connection (in VS Options) to the named instance of my Web Edition but, when I do this then try to add a database to an App_Data folder (via Add New Item...) I get an error saying I need the Express version of SqlServer 2005 or 2008 (I opted NOT to install this during installation as I knew I'd be using the full Web Edition instead).
I CAN add a data connection to a database created in the Web Edition instance by Sql Server Management Studio so VS can use the Web Edition instance.So, if I've changed the Data Connection to the Web Edition instance, why can't I add a database using that instance to my App_Data folder? Can I ONLY add Express instance databases to this folder?
I had archived all of my files prior to the change. Since I am now having a great deal of trouble working with 2010, I want to revert. My question is: If I restore all of the archived files and start 2008, will I need to make any changes to the registry or to any other files?
The problems that I am having are illusive. Some of the relative paths nolonger work. Some f the projects that had been working for 24 months no longer functions. I am having a great deal of trouble calling my older "[WebMethod]" "ASMX" services and many other issues.
I am considering an upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 Pro from my Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition while the price is still $299. I have successfully used Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition along with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition to produce websites with database backends. I am assuming that I will still be able to do this with Visual Studio 2010 Pro without any heart-stopping transitional problems. Anyone have any experiences/advice about this? And just for the record, I cannot afford Visual Studio 2010 Premium which I believe would make this a moot point.
Is there anything special to do with Windows 2008 R2 Server and Visual Studio 2010 to get Oracle quereis to work? I have the same DB Connnection.string I have used before and it works. I am at a loss here.
Is there any way that I can get the list of All the available shortcut key options listed from within IDE itself in Visual Studio 2008/2010? Because every time I used to bing and find on web for that.
I have been ising TFS 2010 with VS 2010 Ultimately for a couple of months now. I have a client who is using Visual Web 2010, does anyone know if this integrated with TFS easily?
My existing system has Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. But Microsoft web installer for Webmatrix has made Wematrix Launch ribbon menu pointing to Visual Studio 2008. How could I make Webmatrix point to Visual Web Express 2010. To make use of IntelliSense and the debugger, I have to manually launch Visual Web Developer 2010 Express.
I'd like to know if I can install both 2008 and 2010 of VWD and use SSEE2008 without ANY difficulties. I need to support some existing sites in 2008 and want to be sure that I can still do that if I load 2010.
I tried to install Visual Studio Prof 2010 trail version in my system, but i got an error saying 'Please remove/uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' to proceed installation. i uninstalled my previous VS2008 software from system and i could not find anything like 'Remove/Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' software in my Add/Remove Programs.
I recently "inadvertantly" installed VWD 2010. I still have my Visual Studio 2008 (full version) installed and want to remove VWD 2010. I want to recompile my active projects under VS 2008. Here are the steps I am planning to undertake. Am I missing anything?
1. Save all active projects 2. Remove VWD 2010 using "Uninstall Programs" from the control panel.3. remove ASP 4.0 via the same route.4. Reinstall VS 2008 5. Reinstall all service packs.Will this bring me back to a fully functional VS 2008? Need I make any additional registry changes?For the record, I do like VWD 2010 and would like to upgrade to the professional version but I cannot afford to do so at this time. I need to build some console applications and this is not possible under VWD. I am also unable to install C# Express.
I tried copying the .aspx and .aspx.vb files from my existing VS 2008 web site directory into the VS 2010 project directory (which is how I converted projects from VS2005 to VS2008), but that doesn't seem to make the files appear in the project/solution in VS 2010.So, I've got this site I built in VS2008, and I want to start editing it in VS2010. What's the best way to do this?
Is there a spell checker add in that can be used with VS2010 express? I have downloaded a add-in for 2008 that "claims" to work with 2010 but when I installed it on my machine it does not show up in the tools menu and I cannot find the exe to add it via the external tools interface. Is there a add-in for VS2010 paid or free?
