Hi all,
I'm
sure this is a really stupid question, but how do you get SQL 2008
Express to work with VS 2008 Pro? I have both installed and my web
application is using a .MDF file in the App_Data folder (which works
when i run the website) ... BUT
BUT ... VStudio doesn't allow me
to open/view/edit the database in Visual Studio. When I click on the
.MDF file I get the following error:
Required Components Missing
Connection
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
So,
then I think, well maybe I can open the .mdf in SQL Management Studio
... but Management Studio doesn't have the .mdf in my app_dev folder
listed under System Database.
Go to the complete details ...
