How To Connect To Sql Server Developer Instead Of Sql Express
Oct 22, 2010
I have a ASP project that I have done before and it was working fine with SQL Serve Express 2005. After formatting my PC, I installed first VS 2008 Pro and then SQL Server Developer 2008 and I'm testing on my laptop but I can't connect to database. After reading a couple of articles I knew that I can't use mdf file because I'm using SQL Developer so it needs another procedure to follow such as changing the parameters in Web.Config
I tried a lot of soultion like start SQL browser Service to be on but still didn't work, also I tried to change the instance name in VS in options but also didn't work with me.
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?
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?
Embarrassed that I'm stuck on this I've downlaoded sqlserver express 2008 R2 and VS web developer 2010. Set up a databse wrote a mini test site and am now trying to connect to my database to fetch records back. However i'm getting the error message "Invalid object name 'customer'." (I have a feeling its running it on the master db and not my 'customerdb' but can't prove this as express doesn't have a profiler).
We are trying to install VWD 2010 on a windows 2008 server. We already have installed the 2008 version as well as SQL 2005, 2008 and 2008 R2. The Web Platform installer is not installing VWD 2010 however.At first it notified us that the OS does not allow it, after running tons of updates on the OS (some of which failed) it is still not doing it, not even donwloading it. The latest message simply asked us to post the error on the forum
I just installed SQL Server 2008 Management studio Express on my Vista machine.i tried connecting to local machine using :
.sqlexpress, (local)sqlexpress, or .SQLExpress, MyPCNAMESQLExpress
nothing is working, getting this error:
----------------------------- Cannot connect to PC-NAMESQLEXPRESS. 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) ----------------------------
I am playing around with WebMatrix ans SQL CE 4.0. I wanted to load up a SQL CE V4.0 db from an Access db.
Tried to connect SSMS Exp to SQL 4.0 sdf file (created in WebMatrix starter site template) and was rejected with the following error that SSMS Express is not yet "aware" of SQL CE V4.0):
Cannot connect to C:Users....App_DataStarterSite.sdf.
This is not a valid SQL Server Compact Database file or this file version is not supported by current SQL Server Compact Engine. (SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider)
[code]...
The sdf file is "a valid SQL Server Compact Database file" - it works fine in WebMatrix.
What do I need to do to make SQL CE 4.0 files kosher for SSMS Express? The error messages suggest that I need to update the SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider, however I might do that.
I'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.
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.
I have installed Visual Studio 2010 ultimate (trial version) on my PC,it's working fine but i am getting issue with sql server 2005,it's not working now.
I m using SQL Server 2005 Express edition.The error when i am trying to connect sql server with windows authentication is
"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 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".
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 am trying to import the SQL file provided by Elmah into my application, and I don't want to import it into the development machine I use. I want to make it a .mdf file so it can be easily transported to my host. I was wondering if there is a way to do this?
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.
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 already have SQL Server (Developer Edition) installed on my computer. I'm learning ASP.NET by going through some video tutorials. These tutorials use VWD 2008 Express so I'm going to install that version (instead of 2010). Will the VWD installation recognize my existing version of SQL Server and connect to it properly after the install? I read something about VWD Express not working correctly with SQL Server Developer Edition.
I've installed Web Developer Express 2010, opened up a website that I developed in VS2008 and do not seem to get an option to publish the website. How do I do this? Right clicking on the website only gives the option to build or copy, I want to publish.
learn to use visual web developer but encountered a problem. I wat to be able to upgrade something and then as the lv goes up the time to do something goes down.
When I try to install the ASP.NET MVC 3 Beta on my server using WebPI, it wants to install Visual Web Developer Express 2010 and SQL Server 2008 Express R2 as prerequisites.I don't want either of those installed on my server. However, when I try to run the
standalone installer, I get the error "Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 3 does not apply", presumably because I don't have the prerequisites.Why is an IDE required to run ASP.NET MVC3? Are there manual or alternate ways to install the runtime only?
her laptop has been reformated to windows xp and she install a fresh cope of VWDE 2005 express editionwhen she tried to run her project the problem occured.after clicking the button 'start debugging' it does run the form and opened open IE explorer.but right after it open the IE, the IE suddenly close.and that is what happen every time she tried to start debuging or run the program.i also cant figure out what is the problem with its VWDE 2005 express edition or in her laptop.
I created a "website" in VWD 2010 Express. The project contains no bin folder and I can't seem to compile it. I don't have a web host, so for now I'd like to run my site on "localhost" on my machine: i.e. I'd like to drop the DLL (if there is one) and my aspx files into a folder on my hard drive and run the site from there. The site runs if I open VWD and run the asp.net web server, but I would prefer to not have to open VWD each time I want to load my site.
When I open "New Project" in Visual Web Developer Express, I see an option to create a new ASP.NET MVC 3 Web Application, but not a ASP.NET MVC 3 Empty Web Application.
There is the option to create a ASP.NET MVC 2 Empty Web Application though.
Any particular reason for this?
All MVC 3 related stuff is installed on my machine, including VS SP1
