Visual Studion 2008 SP1 can not connect to sql 2008

[=?Utf-8?B?U2FsYW1FbGlhcw==?=]

have a fresh new install of VS2008 on Vista 64Bit and SQL management studio.
I manage to connect to the sql 2008 from within the management studio but
when I am not able to create a database connection from within VS 2008.

When I launch the wizard in VS, click the "server name" droplist, I can see
the name of the server, but when I try to select a DB, no DB shows up.

I using a login with full admin privileges.

Thanks in advance

Hello SalamElias,

We find another same thread you post in microsoft.public.sqlserver.connect
newsgroup. The sqlserver.connect newsgroup is better for your issue and our
engineer will work on it with you there. So, I close this thread as
duplicated.

Have a nice day!
