I've been trying to find an answer to this to no avail. I'm not even sure if its possible. I like to do development at home in addition to work, like most of you do. Since it is my home computer, I like to play games, so I try to keep applications to a minimum. I would like to install sqlexpress on a virtual machine (which I have successfully done), and I can connect to it via Management Studio on my local machine (non-vm). Is there a way to set visual studio to use this connection as opposed to local host? I really do not want to load sqlexpress on my local machine and have yet another thing tying up system resources.
I have started to create a databse using SQL Server Management Studio Express, just a few tables, one with data. I now want to creat a some windows forms to populate the tables. However when I try to use the Add New Data Source wizard, I get an error when I try to create the connection string, but I have managed to connect to a copy of AdventureWorks located in the same parent directory.
Error is : Unable to open the physical file "...". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)". An attemp to attach an auto-named database for file ... failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
As I can connect to AdventureWorks, I presume Windows thinks the file is open, but I have no idea why, how to check, or how to close it.
Hi all,I'm having a big problem here. I can't seem to connect to a database of MSSQL Server 2005... Here is what I've did:1. Under the Server Explorer>Data Connections. Right click and choose "Add Connection..."2. Data Source was "Microsoft SQL Server Database File". Click OK.3. I browse to the database in the MSSQL.2/MSSQL/Data folder.4. Click on the "Advanced" button, and change the default DataSource from .SQLEXPRESS to .MSSQLSERVER. Click OK5. Received this error:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) Only .SQEXPRESS that I was able to connect to... i've tried the solution from Microsoft, opened SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration and enabled "Local and remote connections", checked the option "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" but it didn't help. This is frustrating because I can't get the Membership provider, login to work on my host. Please help. Thank you very much,Kenny.
This should be simple - using the server explorer I select the server and then the database that's running on that server. It lets me test the database connection at that point - which does work.
Then when I try to add the database it says -
Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc, Version=10.0.0 ... The system cannot find the file specified.
So far as I can see the specified file is Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll which has a current version of 9.0.242.0 and sits within the SQL Server files. That is also the version number held in the registry.
The version of SQL is 2005. The database was created using Create Database through VS 2008, .net 3.5.
Also, I installed VS 2008 first, which puts in SQL Compact. And then tried installing SQL 2005 Development which still gave the same error message. So I uninstalled SQL Compact and SQL 2005. And then did a clean install of SQL 2005 Developer. Does VS 2008 cope with this?
Is there a version 10 of SMO? Or is there somewhere within SQL or Visual Studio where it could be holding a version number of 10 for the dll? Or any other ideas?

I have Visual Studio 2003 and had used it successfully with MSDE. I recently upgraded to SQL 2005 Express and cannot seem to connect to the SQL server. it appears in the list of servers on localhost, but when I try to create a new database it tells me that it "cannot create databases on this server." It will not even open up any existing databases.
I have .NET 2.0 installed. I uninstalled SQL and reinstalled it, but nothing seems to help. I feel I must be missing something, but do not know what.
I no longer have the MSDE installation files, so I hope I can get Studio to talk to SQL Express.
I've been trying this solution http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2200113&SiteID=1 but for whatever reason it's not working. This is a SQL 2005 server SP2 I am trying to connect to.
I tried servernameMSSQL.1 I tried just servername. Restarted SSIS both times.
What's odd is that I have an admin db that I was able to connect to in VSS.
Hi,I am a newbie at all this, but here's what I want to do: We have avery large database sitting on a SQL server that is on a remotecomputer. I can access it through remote desktop and browse theEnterprise Manager and the DB.What I am trying to do is create a Visual Studio .Net program thataccesses the DB. Can I use a data adapter to connect to the DB? theSQL server is on the local C drive of the remote computer so it is notweb based.Otherwise I guess I'd have to install VS on the remote computer andcreate the program there.... but I'm guessing, I really need someadvice here.

The connection tests ok in Visual Studio 2003. All permissions are set using SQL Management Studio Express 2005. The book is using SQL 2000, I have been trying different connection syntax's in the Web.Config file all day and now I have a big headache. I know its something simple, can anyone please advise ? Thanks in advance.
I was wondering if it is possible to connect the SQL Server 2005 Express Version to Visual Studio 2003.If its possible , how can it be done?Cos i seem to have an error if i do so.
ok so i have set up SQL server 2005 on a Windows server 2003 machine. I am trying to connect to it via ODBC and/or Visual Studio 2005 on a computer running off the same switch. I have set SQL server to accept remote connections and named pipes as well as had the port unblocked. when i try and connect to it via Vista ODBC wizard or visual studio wizard it says that the server is not there or access is denied.
The server is set up for SQL authentication and i am 100% pos that the username/password i am using is correct. i am at a total loss as to what to do to get my vista machine to talk to that SQL server.
I am trying to connect to a remote sql server 2005. So I have install the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. When I try to connect I get the error below.

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason
I recently installed the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005 x64 and it appears that MS Visual Studio 2005 is installed in stead of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. When I choose new project the only template available is "Blank Solution". How do I get all the templates (i.e. Analysis Server Project, Integration Services Project, Report Model Project, Report Server Wizard project, etc.)?
Or would it be better to uninstall MS Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to reinstall BIDS?
I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
I have created a database under management studio and i want it to be connected in visual studio but it failed the error msgs said that the database can't be connected coz the database with same name exits but that is not true

As of right now I have two networked machines. I have a sql database on one that I have no problem connecting to, but I cannot connect to the database from the second machine.
From the second machine, I've come up with this connection string after all my research...
"server=[MACHINE_NAME]SQLExpress;databse=[NAME];User ID = sa;Password=[PASS]"
I keep getting a cannot connect to database error.
Migrating a site to a new server. Moved data to SQLExpress. Changed connection string to point to SQLExpress and now I am getting this error.

The login failed. /func/inc_DatabaseFunctions.inc, line 5 Do I need to do permissions differently than MSDE?Did connection strings change?Help?
hi,i'm using classic asp to try and connect to a sqlexpress database on a development server. i get the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005) [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. /dbtest.asp, line 8
I'm using the following script which runs fine against a regular SQL server (version 8) on the network.
sql = "SELECT product_code FROM products WHERE product_type = 1";
var results= conn.Execute(sql).GetString(); Response.write(unescape(results)); %>
I have tried changing Data Source to servernameSQLEXPRESS, changing initial catalog to master, using a user name defined on the database and changing the provider to SQLNCLI but nothing has worked.
Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong? Using ASP.Net is not an option.
I'm getting this error message from the ASP.NET configuration manager in VS 2005 Pro:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I have no problem connecting using the sql server management studio tool.

Hey I've been trying to upload a sql express database to my webserver with out much success :( When I upload it I get permission problems so I think anyway I've been reading around and it looks like i'm stuck with having to let the server create the database file again Is there anyway i can upload this file to the webserver and get it working 100%?
I am running SqlExpress on a Vista machine as a server and accessing it from machines running XP. I could not connect with the Vista server until I turned off the firewall, despite creating exceptions for both the sqlexpress and sqlbrowser services in the firewall setup. Obviously, I don't want to run on a wireless network without a firewall for any length of time. What else to I need to enable in order to run with my firewall up? In SMSS, I could 'see' the Vista server on the network with the firewall up, but I could not 'see' the SERVERSQLEXPRESS service or connect to it .
