IDE :: Difference Between "Add Connection..." And "Create New SQL Database..." In Server Explorer?
Sep 14, 2010I am using VS2010 and have been watching and learning from Beth Massi's great videos. I have built some test apps using her example of (under Server Explorer) - right clicking on "Data Connections" and selecting "Create New SQL Server Database, and in the server name just like she does, I type ".SQLEXPRESS", fill in the "New Database Name" and fill in my fields, build my tables, build a simple little windows form app. add new data source, etc. and everything works great. Then I try the "Add Connection" option again under Server Explorer and use the default (for me) of "Microsoft SQL Server Database file(Sql Client)", fill in a database file name (it creates a new one for me), "Test Connection" works, build my tables etc, and then build a simple little windows form app. add new data source and everything is great once again. Except I am not sure what is actually happening between these two options. Under the "Create New SQL Server Database option I see (in Server Explorer) a "myapp.dbo". Where is the actual database file? Under the "Add Connection" I see a "myapp.mdf" file in the Server Explorer. Also what happens when I "Publish" (deploy) my app? When I look under application files under Publish, I see the .mdf file listed as "Required" under the "Add Connection" option, but with the "Create New SQL Server Database" I don't see any database files listed? What is the difference between these two ways of creating a database for a VB Windows Forms Application?

Jan 3, 2011I am using Server Explorer in VS2010 to connect to an Access 2007 .accdb database. I started getting 'No error message available, result code:E_UNEXPECTED (0x8000FFFF). However, my program runs from Debug and accesses the data.My connection string is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:MypathDatabase1.accdb. I exited my project and created a new project and tried to add a connection. I could not connect to Access 2007 or Access 2003 databases (.mdb).I had to exit VS2010 and start it again before it started working again.
View 3 RepliesTable Created In VB 2010 Express Database Explorer Does Not Appear In Underlying Server?
May 10, 2010The above is more or less the complete question. I have created a table in the VB 2010 Database Explorer but I cannot for the life of me work out how I can get this copied or created into the underlying server. It is not appearing in the underyling serverand when I run the code of course I ge "invalid object <tablename>" I have data as well in the table that appears in Database Explorer. I think I have missed something fundamental in my overall conception of using VB 2010 Express with SQL Server Express in that I don't know if I have a local copy (that isn't then mirrored on the server), or what (the ____ have I got)? An article that explains the overall relation of Database Explorer to the underyling Server would be great as well
View 8 RepliesAdd A Remote SQLServer Database To My Database Explorer Window In 2010 Express?
Feb 14, 2011I'm trying to use LINQ to SQL in Visual Basic 2010 Express.
It allows me to create the .dbml file, but in order to drag items from the Database Explorer window to the design surface, I first have to get my database listed in the Database Explorer!(this is a remote SQL Server database - not a local .mdf)
I already have a good, working connection string to the remote SQL Server database, but that doesn't help me when I'm trying to generate the DBML at design time.
Can anyone tell me how to get my remote SQL Server database identified in the Database Explorere window? When I try the "Add Connection", I am limited to Access, SQL Server Compact, or SQL Server Database File. If I try to enter the IP address & port of my DB Host I get a 'database file does not exist' message. Doesn't seem to want to let me point to a remote DB server...
Create A SQL Server (express) Database (.mdf)
Dec 7, 2009create an SQL Server (express) database (.mdf).
most of the example in the walkthrough make use of the pre made northwind database(.mdf)
i will use the database that i will make to get connected from my application. the connection would client-server and what i have noticed, that this is possible if your database is an SQL version with extension filename of .mdf.
Or if its possible to create this database just using the Visual Studio 2008 Pro(90-day trial)
Any Way To Automatically Create Properties From SQL Server Database?
Apr 23, 2009Using Visual Studio .NET 2008 or 2005, is there a way to automatically generate properties for each column in an SQL Server database table? I am assuming other code-generation software exists that will do this. I know with Visio I can connect to my database and it will generate diagrams by table, this would be similar to that.
View 6 RepliesCreate A Data Connection To A Database In SQL Server?
Sep 28, 2011I have Visual Basic 2010 Express and SQL Server 2008 R2 (not Express) installed on my Windows 7 machine. In Visual Studio, I am attempting to create a Data Connection to a database in SQL server. Server Mgmt Studio is not running. When I attempt to add a connection in Database Explorer, to the AdventureWorks _Data database, I get the message "This file is in use. Enter an new name or close the file that's open in another program." There are no programs running except VB, except maybe for the SQL Server engine running the background.Please note that I can open and access tables within a database in code
within Visual Studio, I just can't add a connection in Database Explorer.Am I doing something wrong? I've been very frustrated on this issue for a long time

View 11 RepliesAdd An SQL Database File Using VS 2005 Getting Error Message Saying Version Of Database Server Not Supported?
May 18, 2009I recently upgraded the MS SQL Server installed on my personal computer from 2005 Express to 2008 Express. Problem is when I try to add an SQL database file to a project using VS 2005 I get an error message saying that the version of my database server is not supported, I must have SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later installed. I didn't do it yet but I'm pretty sure that when I open the other projects that I included a database file to it, I'm going to get the same error.
My question is it possible to have two SQL Servers installed on my machine? If so, is it a good idea to have two DB servers in the same machine?

Incrementally Backup MS SQL Server 2005 Database By Program That Uses The Database Also
Oct 19, 2009before re-inventing the wheel, i want to ask you how i can do this best: I have a VB.Net application that uses a database connection to MS SQL Server 2005 (express version). There are users that input data with the application into the database lets say once to 2x an hour to once a minute. I want to do backups like this: Once a day or once a week (in the evening) a full backup, and whenever the program/user is idle for lets say 10 Minutes, i want to do an incremental backup (so that it does not take so long until he can work on after the backup).
There are no big security issues, just copying the backup data files to a network share / a different computer or server would be fine. i guess the average db size may be 300MB, but the daily increments about 1MB.
