I tried to connect to the SQL Server (2000) with the VS 2010 Express. I got error saying "This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later".
View 1 RepliesI'm using MS Visual Web Developer 2010 Express to build a website that connects to a SQL server 2000 database. Is it possible to connect to SQL 2000 using providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"? I'm guessing not. Or am I limited to using providerName="System.Data.OleDb" ? And seems both connections are under this ADO.NET umbrella. confirm one way or the other ... I'm a bit confused.
From web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SubscrTypeConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=my-server-host;Persist Security Info=True;Password=123abcde;User ID=test;Initial Catalog=Apps"
providerName="System.Data.OleDb" />
</connectionStrings>
So I believe I need to use OleDbCommand calls. I've seen many examples to do gridview select/edit/delete using SqlClient but not OleDb calls in VB code. Links to sample code would be great.
In Visual Web Developer-2010, I have been trying to connect to IBM DB2 Database after installing the DB2 9.7 client (both supports VS2010/.Net4) so that I can use "ADO.NET Entity Data Model", but while clicking "New Connection" I can only see the list of Data Sources and Data Provider only related to MS SQL server. This is totally blocking my work, I am not able to work further since I cannot even establish the connection to my db2 database using this new editor so that I can create the edmx files in the solution for non MSSQL databases. Kindly provide me the solution ASAP, since my further work is blocking due to this.
View 2 RepliesI 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 a clean installation of Windows 7 with VS2010 RTM and am trying to get the ASP.NET Development Server to work. When I run the project, the WebDev server starts and shows that it's listening on port x on localhost. I've tried:telnet to the port. The port is not listening. running netstat -o shows that the WebDev server is in fact not listening on any port. manually changing the WebDev port to a different port and restarted VS without effect. I have Windows Firewall turned off entirely and am not running any other firewall software either.
View 1 RepliesI'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.
Can VS 2010 connect to a SQL 2000 database?
I get this error while using the Data/Connect and SQL Server 2008 R2 comes up.
"The connection failed because this instance of SQL Server is not supported. The Editor cannot connect to SQL Server 2000 or earlier versions."
Our production server is on SQL 2000
I am trying to add a database using VS2010, I have VS2010 Professional and SQL server 2008 developer and sql server 2008 express and it seems impossible for me to create a database am being sent to the linkid=125883 to download an express edition even though i have it installed.
View 2 RepliesI've been working on a website using Visual Studio 2008 that uses URL Rewriting. Being that the integrated web server in VS2008 does not support extension mapping, I'm using IIS in Windows XP for my testing. The problem I'm at now is that I'm considering hosting the site under IIS7. Using Integrated Pipeline mode under IIS7 has a big advantage in that I can force all file extensions (and directory requests) through the rewrite engine with a setting in the web.config file instead of having to configure a custom ISAPI handler in IIS. My problem is in testing this before trying to deploy.
Does anyone know if the integrated web server in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express supports integrated pipeline mode? Specifically, if I add the "runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests" attribute to the "modules" section under "system.webServer" in "Web.Config", will all requests get piped through the asp.net engine?
I'm thinking about installing vwd 2010 or vs 2010 express but want to know if either offer integrated jquery support.
View 4 RepliesI have recently updated from web developer 2008 express to 2010 and notice that the drop down for server objects & events that is included in the 2008 edition does not seem to exist in this edition. I have tried all the settings and switched on Experts settings and imported all the expert settings but to no avail.Is there a different way to select events in 2010 version (I was using it to import procedures mainly for validation).

View 2 RepliesI 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.
Iam using web developer express 2010. I was wondering if the web developer 2010 express supports SQL Server 2000. I know i could connectSQL server 2005 and up but is it possible i could connect sql server 2000 to web developer 2010 express?
View 4 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesCan I install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 in Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
With VWD 2008 it says "This product is licensed".
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..
View 3 Repliesjust 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.

View 1 RepliesI 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:

What I don't know is how to get the parameter into the select statement.I've tried:
