Visual Studio 2005 Unable To Connect To SQL Server Express 2005


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.

Unable To Debug SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures From Another Workstation Running Visual Studio 2005
 I'm having some problems debugging SQL Server stored procedures on a SQL Server 2005 server. I have installed Visual Studio 2005 on a workstation running Windows XP, now I'm trying to debug a ASP.Net web application that has some code that executes the stored procedures on a Windows 2003 Server running SQL Server 2005.

  I opened VS2005 ... created a connection to the SQL Server 2005 instance ... open the Stored procedure ... right click the stored procedure name and selected Step into Stored Procedure and the following message is displayed:

Unable to start T-SQL debugging.Could not attach to SQL Server process on 'ServerName'.

Any ideas.

 

Thanks,

How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?
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,

Bashman

SQL Server 2005 - Studio Express Vs. Visual Studio 2005 Install
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?

How To Slipstream Sql Server 2005 Express SP1 Into Visual Studio 2005 Setup?
Hello, I would like to know if anyone here has any information on how to change the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express which ships with Visual Studio 2005 to the new SQL 2005 Express SERVICE PACK 1?

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?

Thanks in advance.

Hello
I'm having a problem with the server connection and my C# code. The code executes alright but no data is entered into the database behind it.  I'm pasting the connection code over here as well. The sql commands are used in the code. I think I used the sql server mobile edition which is installed along with visual studio.net 2005. Anyone know what's wrong, and can help me out? Thanks in advance.public static void storeInDb(string trackName, string artist, string albumTitle, string year, string path, uint[] fp)
{
string connStr="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename='"+path+"\Data\ACI.mdf';Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True";SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connStr);
conn.Open();string sql = "INSERT INTO Clip(Song, Artist, Album, Year) VALUES('" + trackName;sql = sql + "','" + artist + "','" + albumTitle + "','" + year + "')";
 SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

SQL Server 2005 Express And Visual Studio 2005 Standard
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!

Can't Connect To SQL Server 2005 In Visual Studio, Only SQLExpress Works?
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.

SQL Server Connection Issue! Visual Studio 2005 Used To Connect!
Hello,
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio to remotely connect to my database for the project I am working on.
I always get the same error, when I try to connect:




Code Snippet

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to the SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the
fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote
connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not
open a connection to the SQL Server)
So, I decided to ping the server to see if any packets were being sent back to me, on the command prompt.
4 of my packets were sent to the server.
0 were sent back.




Code Snippet

Pinging sq15.bravehost.com [172.16.0.229] with 32 bytes of data

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 172.16.0.229:
Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
So, does the database not allow incoming connections, or am I missing something?

Thanks for the help in advance,
Dustin.

Can't Connect To SQL Server 2005 Express Through Visual C# App
I've installed SQL server 2005 Express and set up a database called StockData. I'm running the following code in a visual C# windows app to test the connection:

System.Data.Sql.SqlDataSourceEnumerator instance = System.Data.Sql.SqlDataSourceEnumerator.Instance;

DataTable tblSource = instance.GetDataSources();

string strSource = tblSource.Rows[0][0].ToString() + "/" + tblSource.Rows[0][1].ToString();

SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection();

sqlConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=StockData;Integrated Security=true";

sqlConn.Open();

I have verified that the SQLEXPRESS service is up and running. The strSource variable shows the machine and SQLEXPRESS instance name when I step through, so I know that the application is recognizing the service. But when I get to the "sqlConn.Open()" line, I get the following error message:

  Message="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 settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
  Source=".Net SqlClient Data Provider"
  ErrorCode=-2146232060

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? This is driving me nuts. Thanks.

Can I Use MS SQL Server Express 2005 In Visual Studio 2003?
 


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!

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?

Whether SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Can Work With Visual Studio 2003 (Ver 1.1)
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

I Can No Longer Connect To My SQL Server Express 2005 From Manager Studio Express
Everything was working fine.  I have been able to connect using windows authentication.  Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users.  After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.

I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server.  This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.

Does anyone know how I can attach to the server?  Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one?  How would I do that?

Thanks in advance for any input.

have set the server so that it will allow remote connections and reset the server just to make sure that it has been implemented.

on this forum it says to perform a ping and and an a ping a- to my server which does work.
 
Have been working on this for 3 days and can't figure it out.
Even had a guy in New Zealand who is usually my messiah of SQL and he can't figure it out so I'll be impressed if someone knows the answer.
 
I will buy a crate of beer for the person who solves this for me as this problem is costing me money! Maybe even 2 if done by end of tomorrow 6pm GMT!

Sql Express SP2 And Visual Studio 2005
Will the SQL Express SP2 update the Installer package that comes with Visual Studio 2005 so that SQL Express SP2 is included with a ClickOnce or MSI based installer?

Including SP2 on Windows Update is a step in the right direction, but I (and I assume others) really hate the idea of burdening our users with the additional step of obtaining the SP2 update immediately after installing our application. This is especially cumbersome if they are using dial-up Internet connections which, unfortunately, many of our customers continue to use.

Thanks,
Travis

Getting Up And Running With Visual SQL Server 2005 Express And Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
I've downloaded and installed both of these (VWD installs both) and have been trying to run through the walkthrough of setting up a web application which supports membership.  However, no matter what I do I invariably get errors like the following:


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 settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I'm concerned why VWD and VSQL express versions don't run correctly out of the box (so to speak).  I'm not an expert on configuring these services -- but that's the point of offering these tools to hobbyists:  So we can learn about how to make some of these great applications using MS tools.
My configuration::


Windows XP SP2 -- clean machine as of about a month ago, never had any dev tools, web servers, or the like on it.

IIS is installed and the service says its running

VSQL and VWD express versions installed (no errors on installation)

SQL server service indicates it is running

.Net 2.0 framework installed (no errors on installation)

Note:  I've tried installing on two separate machines.  Obviously I'm missing something fundamental.

Would someone please help me go through the million things I [apparently] need to do to configure all these tools so I can get on to actually coding up my first web application?  If this is documented somewhere, all I can say is I tried to find it but it certainly wasn't obvious.

I completely uninstalled all of the beta Express products I had and reinstalled SQL Server 2005 Express first, which seems to have installed ok.  Then I reinstalled Visual C# Express, but still have the same problem. 

This is happening on my home pc running Windows XP Home sp2. I successfully got sql working with VC# Express at work on my WinXP Pro system.

Thanks a bunch!

Ron

SQL Express 2005 With Visual Studio 2003
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,

SQL 2005 Express And Visual Studio 2003 - Connecting
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.

Debugging SQL Server 2005 Stored Proc With Visual Studio 2005
Hello,



we have a SQL server 2005 with Visual studio Prof. 2005 in the
employment.



The debuggers function only in Visual studio correctly, as long as no
code on the SQL server must be implemented.



If a BREAK POINT in a Stored Procedure is set, this is not activated,
since this cannot be bound.

Does someone know, what it lies and can like one it eliminate?



Thank you for your assistance in advance.



Yours sincerely

Installing MS Visual Studio 2005 (PE). On Vista X64 (BE) Running MS SQL Server 2005 (DE) X64
Hi, I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 DE on Vista x64. I installed MS VS 2005 Pro. Edition. During the setup of VS, I did a custom install, un-checking the SQL Express addition box. After installation, I received errors that indicated the SQL Express did not install.  Even though I do not have SQL Express installed on my machine, MS Update says that I need SQL Express SP2. My SQL DE is up to date with SP2 and MS Update indicates as "optional" that I need SQL SP2.

Is SQL Express a necessity for VS Pro? If not, why is MS Update indicating that I need SQL Express SP2? In addition, why is MS Update telling me I need SQL SP2 when it is already installed?

Note: I installed SQL SP2 manually, not through MS Update. This makes me believe that MS Update is not detecting it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help,

Abel

Native Oracle SQL -&&> SQL Server 2005 CE .sdf File -&&> Using Visual Studio 2005?
I've got a table adapter that connects using an oracle data connector.  In the adapter, I'm using native oracle SQL such as:

select TO_DATE(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(weird_oracle_field),0,12),'YYYYMMDDHH24MI') as dt_added from oracle_data_table

There's also a CASE statement in there with some other data transformations.

Anyway, I want to take the results of that Oracle query and put the dataset into a SQL Server Compact Edition database - within an application that I'm creating in Visual Studio 2005.

For whatever reason, I can't seem to do anything like that in 'bulk' and there aren't any data migration tools that work with anything other than "full" SQL Server versions.  My client doesn't support SQL Server, but I can deploy my app with SQL CE.  I need a 'local' copy of the database (for several reasons) and just can't seem to figure out how to make this work.

I'm really going nuts.  I feel like I'm soooo close when I see the data I want in the table adapter - but I can't seem to actually *move* the data over!! 

Can anyone help?

thanks,

Jon

Creating A New Connection With Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition From Visual Studio 2005 IDE
 

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€¦

SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 Has Not Upgraded Visual Studio 2005 Business Intelligence Tools
Hi,
I understand from previous threads that installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 on the desktop client can speed up the response rate of the Visual Studio 2005 Business Intelligence Tools.
 
However after logging on as an administrator and installing Service Pack 2, Service Pack 2 returned no errors. However after launching Visual Studio and clicking on the about dialog box the version reported was still €œRTM.050727-4200€? where I was expecting to see €œSP.050727-7600€?.
 
I understood that I applied the same service pack to my copy of SQL Server on my laptop and the upgrade worked successfully.
 
Can anyone help?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Kieran.

SQLCe Errors When Doing Developing A SQL Mobile Application With Visual Studio 2005 And SQL Server 2005 Tutorial
I'm attempting to use RDA to synchronize a pocket pc emulator with SQL Server 2005 database by following tutorial http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454892.aspx, which uses AdvWorksMobile database that comes with SQL Server 2005.
 
When get to testing of "To test application features " (   step 4 of the merge replication setup lab ),  I am receiving SQLCe Exception errors.
 
ORIGINALLY, I was able to deploy an application and view the local database on the emulator, but once I clicked "InitSinc" button,  I received an error.
 
"Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not" exist, access is denied because the SQL user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect. 
 Found this error listed in Server Agent Errors log http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172357.aspx, but it wasn't very helpful since it doesn't provide any suggestions on fixing the problems.
 
I am brand new to SQL CE Server , mobile programming and .NET framework in general so please bare with me
 


All the connections / security settings, etc that were set up were taken from a tutorial so I am not sure what SQLCeServer is complaining about. Reading up on the error on the web didn't help, it all pointed to making sure that the snapshot folder had correct permissions set up. I verified that MACHINENAMEUISR_MACHINENAME guest user had Read rights to the database so I don't think that piece is the problem. Otherwise ,Merge publication has been setup in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio by following the tutorial.
     

 I am trying to run this sync on my home pc so there should be no issues with any user permissions


 I have IIS installed


I did NOT have SQL Server Agent running in management studio at this time


I am trying to run this tutorial on an XP machine, which is my regular home PC so I dont think there are any special networking settings to consider


I am able to hit http://localhost/AdvWorksMobile/sqlcesa30.dll from my pc OK, but when I try to hit it from a cradled emulator ( after replacing "localhost" with "MACHINE_NAME" ), Internet Explorer on the emulator gives me a "Cannot Connect With Current Settings" error message. This part wasn't part of tutorial but decided so not sure if I am supposed to be able to hit it from my emulator..so I am not sure if the fact that I can't hit it is related to the problem.
AFTER STARTING SQL SERVER AGENTin Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I killed the application, and after relaunching it, it hits "The Specified table does not exist [Vendor]" error. This time it doesn't even launch first - that is I dont even get to pressing "InitSinc" button. Debugger is showing that this error is hit on the following line in AdvWorksMobile.AddWorksDataSetTableAdapters
 
int returnValue = this.Adapter.Fill(dataTable);
 
I am not sure why the errors changed on me after starting SQL Server Agent.
What can I do to fix this connection problem?
 
Thank you so much for your help!
 
Irina

Connecting SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition To Visual Studio 2005
 

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.
