Whether SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Can Work With Visual Studio 2003 (Ver 1.1)
Mar 3, 2006
We are new to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. We are going to develope a solution for one of our client and we have to decide on which database to use for the solution. Client wanted to have a low cost solution. Thus we were not in a position to push them for SQL Sever 2000.
In the process, we also thought of having MySQL as one of the option. Another option we have is to use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
We wanted to know if SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be used with Visual Studion 2003 (Ver 1.1) or it can only be used with Visual Studio 2005 (Ver 2.0)?
Hope to get feedback soon.
Regards
Sanjeev

I have been experiencing troubles since I was decided to install SQL Server Expr 2005 in my PC, first I needed to remove the .NET framework 1.1 in my computer because it is suggested before installing sql server expr 2k5 that cause my vs.net 2003 to stop loading because sql express runs in .NET framework 2.0 and vs.net 2003 is in .Net Framework 1.1 then what I did is to install .Net Framework 1.1 in my PC together with .Net Framework 2.0 and my vs.net started runnning again.
My problem now is when I try to connect to a database using Data Link Properties in the Server Explorer it says "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen](Connect()).]Sql server does not exist or access denied." how could this happen if I can see the sql server in the Server Explorer in my VS.net environment?
Please somebody help me I am just learning to this language and I think I cannot proceed to the next few chapters remaining because of this.
Thank you very much!

I work for a school district and our business lab is looking at using Visual Studio.net and since MSDE is being replaced by SQL Server Express 2005, will that work with Visual Studio.net for creating applications.
Thanks ahead of time.

I am just starting to work with Visual Studio and SQL. I have Visual Studion 2003 with .net Framework 1.1. I want to download the SQL 2005 Express version and it requires the upgrade to .NET Framework 2.0
Will this affect my Visual Studio 2003? And can I use SQL 2005 with Visual Studio 2003?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

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.
Any help is appreciated.

(3) How to use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance on visual studio 2008?

Hi
I am following a project to build a small E-Commerce site from a book I have purchased and I have having problems connecting to the SQL Database with the code supplied.
The book is Apress Beginning ASP.NET 1.1 E-Commerce

The code added to the Web.Config file is :
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="Server=(local)NetSDK;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=JokePoint" />
</appSettings>
The connection details are in a class file called Catalog.vb and is as follows
Imports System.Data.SqlClientPublic Class Catalog
Public Shared Function GetDepartments() As SqlDataReader
'Create the connection objectDim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
'Create and initialize the command objectDim command As New SqlCommand("GetDepartments", connection)
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
'Open the connection
connection.Open()
'Return a SqlDataReader to the calling functionReturn command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
End Function
Private Shared ReadOnly Property connectionString() As String
GetReturn ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")
End GetEnd Property
End Class
The error is.....

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'm attempting to connect to my SQL Server Express instance through Visual Studio 2003. When I go to Data Connections, I choose the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, then fill in all the parameters for my server (server name, username, password, database). When I click "Test Connection" it goes through successfully. When I click "Ok" to create the Data Connection, it fails saying that the username and password should be checked. I changed the username and password to the "sa" account I created when I installed SQL Server Express, and got the same successful connection test, but failure when it tries to create the connection. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to open or create a sqlexpress database within Visual Studio 2005 Professional in the App_Data folder. If I attempt either method, I get the following dialog box:Required Components MissingConnections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=49251 The link above just takes you to the download page for Sql Server Express 2005. I have both SQL Server 2005 Developer and SQL Server 2005 Expression instances running. The existing database will work properly in my web application, however I cannot access it through Visual Studio.As background, I did have a problem connecting to the database via the web application, receiving a "Failed to generate a User Instance of SQL Server" error. But I was able to fix that by renaming my SQLEXPRESS folder in C:Documents and SettingsuserLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server Data. When the web page ran, it created another SQLEXPRESS folder.However, I cannot figure out why I am having the other issue.Thanks in advancePatrick

I have one computer running Visual Studio 2003, and another running SQL Server 2005. I am trying (unsuccessfully) to add a connection to a sqlDataAdapter from an application in the Visual Studio 2003 computer to the db on the SQL 2005 machine.
If I go to the machine running sql 2005, where I am running visual Studio 2005, I can create this connection with no problems.
Is there a way fromvisual Studio 2003 to create a sqlDataAdapter with a connection to SQL 2005?

I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..

Hello, How are you?
I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?
I appreciate your help€¦

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'm very confused. I installed Visual Studio 2005 and thought I understood that SQL Server 2005 came with it, but it appears that it's SQL Server 2005 - Express. Can anyone tell me what I need to do in order to get Data Transformation Services loaded or the equivalent of DTS in SQL Express?

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
Thank you,

Hello,
I have a SQL Server CE 3.1 database, which I want to connect to.
Browsing through the documentation, It's not clear to me which tools to use for this.
I have installed VS 2005 express edition (with sp1), but it can't connect to .sdf and
version VS 2008 only connects to SS CE 3.5.
The tools installation file ssce31vstools-ENU.exe file doesn't install on express edition
it seems, as I get an error message, that the patch is not valide.
I also installed the SS Management studio, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle .sdf.
Am I missing something obvious here? I am simply trying to access and modify a SS CE 3.1
databse...
Thanks for the help

I have a question about a problem that I cannot seem to tackle. I have installed the following programs on Windows Vista:
- SQL Server 2005
- Visual Studio 2008
- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5
- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 Server Tools
I want to do the following:
1. I want to create a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 database in the SQL Server Management Studio
2. I want my SQL Express server in SQL Server 2005 to be a distributor and publisher
About 1. In SQL Server Management Studio I cannot choose SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 .
ABout 2. I tried to setup my server to be a distrubutor by running a stored procedure with the following name: sp_adddistributor. I get the following error: This edition of SQL Server cannot act as a Publisher or Distributor for replication.
Does anyone have a solution to both problems.

I am unable to debug code from a SQL Database Project using the CLR. After VS 2005 does the auto-attaching to the SQL server, VS hangs until I tell it to stop debugging. Many others have reported this as a similar problem, however this only seems to affect me when I€™m connecting to specific servers. Specifically it seems to be remote connections. When I attempt to connect to my SQL 2005 Developer Edition €œlocally€? I get right through and can debug.
From my VS output window:
Auto-attach to process '[1688] [SQL] gx620-eric' on machine 'gx620-eric' succeeded.
Debugging script from project script file.
testing
No rows affected.
(0 row(s) returned)

The program '[1688] [SQL] gx620-eric: gx620-eric' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
When I attempt to connect to a remote server running Enterprise Edition, it hangs after a successful attach.
Auto-attach to process '[1856] [SQL] virtual2003eric' on machine 'virtual2003eric' succeeded.
Sometimes after countless attempts, I am able to get this to work, but lately I have had no success. As far as the SQL Server side, enabling and disabling the CLR through the Surface Area Configuration seems to be the only place to do anything relative to the CLR inside SQL server.
I have firewalls disabled. All SQL Servers presently have both SQL 2005 SP2 and Visual Studio 2005 SP1 installed.
I€™ve tried restarting servers and services, checking and un-checking €œAllow SQL/CLR Debugging€? and those steps did not work for me.
Does anyone have any insight on this one? Any ideas on how I can further debug this one?
Thanks.
Eric

Alright I'm using Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 and SQL Server Express 2005. I've downloaded all the updates on Windows Update. I'm joining a project late and trying to get the C#/SQL web-app up and running. My project manager has it built with Visual Studio 2005 pro and a full blown corporate license for the SQL server, but I don't have access to the SQL server quite yet.
When I try to open the "LLRCWEB.sln" file I receive the following error:
"The application for project 'C:Documents and Settings......LLRCSQL.dbp' is not installed.
Make sure the application for the project type (.dbp) is installed."
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Are there any plug-ins or particular application versions you know are required to handle '.dbp' files, or will I have to Install Visual Studio 2005 Pro and get access to the SQL server?
Any input would be greatly appreciated

I had SQL Server Express Edition installed. I then uninstalled both it and Visual C#. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition and reinstalled Visual C# -- both on the same machine. I can connect to SQL Server 2005 using SQL Server Management Studio. However, Visual C# is a different story. When I try to add a new Data Connection, it defaults the data source to .SQLEXPRESS, which is no longer on my machine. I can select .MSSQLSERVER, but when I click on either OK or Test Connection, I time out with an error message -- error 25 - Connection string is not valid. The connection string that is shown at the bottom of the Advanced dialog box is -- Data Source=.MSSQLSERVER;AttachDbFilename=E:InventoryDataInventory_Data.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

I see a file under disc:vswcuSSESQLEXPR.exe I am wondering if changing that file with the new one from Microsoft Download Center will do it...
There's another file under that folder named sqlexpr32.exe I am wondering what it's for?

Hi,
I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
"
Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251
"
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S.
I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.

The program shortcut "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" seems to be mising from the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" Start menu added by the current Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. Where is it? How to workaround?
I am trying to do Download details SQL Server 2005 Samples and Sample Databases (April 2006) -> GettingStartedWithSQLSamples.htm which says "a. Open a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 command prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, point to Visual Studio Tools, and then click Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt." but I can find no such command prompt within "Visual Studio Tools", only "Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugger{, Configuration Wizard}".
What's wrong? How to fix or workaround? I'd install .NET SDK 2.0 to get it's Command Prompt but that's about 570MB merely for a command prompt!
Thanks for your help, -Mike Parker

Hi everyone,I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express with Advanced Services from Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition but it took up so much space and resources on my computer that I didn't want to put it back on there. So I put the SQL Express on there and while the Management Studio application connects just fine, VS 2005 will not. Oddly enough, VS 2005 connected just fine to SQL 2005 Standard. I have enabled shared memory, named pipes and TCP/IP. I have set up SQL Express to accept remote connections on named pipes and TCP/IP. And I have tried running SQL Express as the Local System Account, as a Local Service and as a Network Service. Nothing. I have tried feeding the Server Name is the Data Connections dialog in Visual Studio my SQL Express instance as (local)/SQLEXPRESS, localhost/SQLEXPRESS, and {computername}/SQLEXPRESS where {computername} is the name of my local computer which SQL Express is (allegedly) running on. And I cannot get the list of databases on that server.There is probably something very simple that I have left out. Can anyone see what it is?Thanks!
