Hi guys,
I'm currently taking a course in Visual C#.
The school provided a link to MSDNAA for a free educational copy of Visual Studio 2008, however our school uses Visual Studio 2005. I wanted to use the same thing so I downloaded Visual C# express 2005.
I can't get the darned thing to install properly. I get an error at the end saying
The following failed to install
Micosoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition x86
I don't know what to do. I won't be able to get to work on assignments if I don't get this working soon.
I've downloaded & installed Visual Web developer Express and SQL Server Express and now I'm trying to install the Reporting Add-In available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/downloads/default.aspx
It downloads just fine and, just as the installation progress bar is almost done and the status text says 'Registering Product', I get the following error message:
"There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personell or package vendor"
Running VWD shows the ReportViewer control now appears in the 'data' group. I can add it to a form, but I cannot create a new report, as clicking on 'Design a new report' under the ReportView Tasks popup menu does nothing.
I installed both SQL 2005 developer and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit.
In every version "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" was missing. I uninstalled and reinstalled both version but always "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" was not available and the computer could not find devenv.exe file.
I installed visual studio 2008 as well. For some reason the start menu link for "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" is ""C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe"" and devenv.exe is not there or anywhere
Hi all, Im new here so il start with a little introduction of myself, My name is Arjan im 19 years old from Holland, and i work for a company to compleet my ICT Education.
My situation:
My boss gave me a server with server 2003 standard and Sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005 installed already, he asked me if i could figure out how the 'new' reporting services work, Im pretty new to SQL and the reporting service but i figured out i had to install asp.net / frameworks and IIS.
So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.
The server is not connected to any network or the internet.
My Question:
Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start
Thanks in Advance!
ps if their is information or logs that u need in order to help me just say so :-)
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.
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.
HiIm trying to connect Visual Basic Express 2005 to a remote SQL Server Express 2005. I cant find how i can do that in VB.net Express.In Web developer there are no problem to connect to a remote SQL server but i cant find it in VB.net Express. The XP with the SQL server that i want to connect to is on the local network. Greatful for help!
This problem only occurs after deployment, not when debugging. In the table I am having a problem with I have an ID field designated as the primary key with the identity increment set to 1 and the identity seed set to 1. There is no data in the table when deployed. I can add records to the datagridview control but when I try updating the dataset I get this error indicating that the ID field already has a value of 1 present. If I close the application and re-start it, the exception no longer occurrs when I update the dataset. I am including the code to update the tables incase something is wrong there. Any suggestions?
Hi Guys, I created a Product database table using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have just added a new column [Picture] to the database table, which of course, should store an image or picture of a product. I am writing to kindly ask you guys for help .
i) How do I include image files into this column [Picture]? ii) How do I get this image to display on Visual Basic 2005 Express form, so that when a product is selected the product image is displayed accordingly?
I'm new to SQL Server and am now learning how to operate SQL Server Express 2005.
I'm getting the following error when attempting to install Visual Web Developer 2005 SP1.
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch"
My machine runs on XP Pro SP2, .NET Framework 3.5.
Currently, what i have got on the computer are as follows Microsoft SQL Server 2005: SQL Server Management Studio Express, SQL Server Configuration Manager.
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:
I have installed Visual Web Developer Express and its companion SQL Server 2005 Express in my Windows XP Professional box.
Now I want to create a database using Visual Web Developer. I opened the Database Explorer and right clicked on Data Connections icon but what I am seeing is an inactive "Create new database" command.
How can I make it active ? How to create a database using my Visual Web Developer?
I have created a database using VB Express 2005 express edition and I have created number of tables and SP's etc.
I am trying to use the database diagram tool but I get an error stating that the database doesn't have a valid dbo. I say yes to the prompt about making myself a valid dbo but I then get a message stating that I do not have permissions to imprersonate the dbo.
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?

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!
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!
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="SELECT max(ClipID) FROM Clip"; cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);int id = Int32.Parse(cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString());for (int i = 0; i < fp.Length; i++) { sql="INSERT INTO Hash VALUES ("+id+","+(i+1)+","+(int)fp[i]+")";cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } conn.Close(); }
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 have windows XP box, installed MS Visual Studio 2005 without SQL 2005 express.After this I have installed SQL 2005 Express edition and then SQL 2005 client toolkit.
Now when I open "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio", it gives message missing shortcut and searches for devenv.exe file. That is the problem, I dont know where is problem..??
Hi, I want to make a component library in Visual Basic.NET and connect to a remote Sql Server. When I create a new DataSet with the wizard, I can only connect to a .mdf file, but not to a Sql Server. With Visual Web Developer I can connect to a Sql server. What is the difference between these enviroments ? How can I do the same with Visual Basic.NET ? Thanks in advance.
I've installed Visual Basic 2005 express edition & tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 express edition. I noticed that VB2005 Express Edition doesn't have any OLEDB provider for SQL Server. The only OLEDB Provider is for M.Access. Is this correct? if so, what should i do if i want to connect SQL Server 2005 express edition with VB2005 express edition by using OLEDB connection type?
I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..
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.
In Visual C# Express, I right click on my solution and select Add, new item, and then choose an SQL database. I get the error:
Connections 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
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.
Hi all, I have a var called sEP which contains a number. The problem I have is calling that var during an SQL query within Visual Basic. To test the update string I wrote the following query and simply told it to enter the text "Five Stars" on the row which contains the entry '1' in Episode Number column. It works fine. UPDATE JackBennySET Rating= 'Five Stars' WHERE ([Episode Number]= '1') But how do I replace the '1' in the query with the var sEP (which will contain the actual number I want the query to run against)?I have tried various suggestions from sources including:UPDATE JackBenny SET Rating = 'Five Stars' WHERE [Episode Number] = '" + sEp + "'However, they all fail to update the database at all which makes me think the syntax is incorrect.Any help is very appreciated (I have been seeking help in various places for 2 days now) - I always send small paypal tips to people who help me on forums.
yiotis writes "Is there a way where you can programmatically (via visual basic) replicate two or more SQL Express databases located on multiple computers without the need of SQL Server 2005 acting as a publisher. From what i understand this is a limitation in SQL Express.
Right now i have SQL Express installed on 2 machines. I am able via vb to communicate with each database, read and write data between databases but cannot seem to figure out how to perform a simple replication.
Bottom line is, i need to be able to replicate via vb code 2 sql express databases with each other.
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
