SQL Server - SQL Server 2008 Standard and Visual Studio 2008 Professonal
Asked By Gofer0
02-Nov-08 01:15 AM
I have retailed copies VS 2008 Pro and SQL 2008 Standard. While in VS 2008 I
tried to create a SQL database in a ASP.Net 3.51 Web application.
I'm getting an error saying I need to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I have all the current patches and upgrades to both programs. I don't want
to down grade my SQL Server. I spent good money on the SQL Server 2008. Is
there a work around option where I can use VS 2008 and SQL Server 2008
together?
SQL Server 2005 standard came with Visual Studio 2008 Professional but I
didn't install that program.

Have you installed SP1 (RTM) for Visual Studio?
FWIW, I have never created a database from within Visual Studio, but I know
that VS2008 came out before SQL Server 2008, so all of the hooks may not be
there to support the new SQL Server version, unless you get VS up to date.

I got this information in About menu from Visual Studio Professional, I
don't see any thing that mentions RTM

Possibly because you are trying to create the database as a Database Project
instead of creating it as a new database on SQL-Server 2008.
Open the Server Explorer window then right click on Data Connections and
chose "Create a New SQL-Server Database. Choose the server, the mode of
authentication and the new database name.
Instead of creating a new database from VS2008, you can also chose to create
it using SQL-Server 2008 and from the Server Explorer window | Data
Connections, chose "Add Connection..." instead of "Create a New SQL-Server
Database".
Creating a new database as a Database Project is an advanced feature.

If you have the SR1 beta and Sulverlight beta installed in Visual Studio Pro.
Before you run the SR1 non beta patch for Visual Studio you have to run the
SR1 prep tool for Visual Studio 2008. Well I didn't do this.
Futhermore you have to install Visual Studio 2008 before you install SQL
Server 2008. Stupid me I installed SQL Server 1st.
I messed around with SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 so much that I
wiprd out SQL server completely. I justed spend a good part of 3 days of
