I have vb.net 2003 standard installed on my xp home edition computer. I downloaded sql server express(which works) and tried to establish a connection through vb.net but could not. I used the server name I made from sql server express in the data link properties of vb.net 2003 and used the northwind database but it would not connect. Gave an error I can't recall because vb.net hangs up. Are the 2 compatible? If so, how do I go about establishing a connection between the 2? If they are not compatible, what will I need? An upgrade to vs 2005? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
They are compatible. What error did you receive?||| ".....unable to connect and that
this version of Visual Studio can only use the SQL Server Desktop Edition and
MS Access as data sources....".
This is the error I receive.
Thanks,
Andy
|||Sorry, what I meant by compatible is that in code you are able to connect to SQL Server Express.
It looks like via the database tools in Visual Studio Standard, it isn't compatitble.
