Visual C# 2008 Express connection to SQL Server 2008 Express problem
- by Phil
Hi guys,
I have a problem with Visual C# 2008 express (SP1) connecting to SQL Server 2008 express.
The "Add Connection" window (wherever initiated) doesn't list existing sql server and no option for sql server except a compact edition.
Note that, I've got the VWD 2008 express (SP1) on the same machine which shows the window regularly (with SQL server listed) and SQL Server Management studio works fine with the server as well.
I've seen other similar posts, did take some advices: reinstalled the VC#, services run ok, etc... but with no success with VC# so far.
Again, on the same machine the VWD shows the dialog with sql server option regularly,
but VC# shows only 3 options in "Change data source" dialog
(1. Microsoft Access Database File (OLE DB)
2. Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5,
3. Microsoft SQL Server Database File)
Any idea?
Thanks in advice,
Phil
