Data Connections for SQL Server Express in Visual Studio Express

I have an Excel add-in that connects to a SQL Server Express 2005
database. I've decided to create a configuration piece for this add-in
in Visual Studio 2005 Express. I added a data connection using the data
connection wizard and all appeared to go well. Anyways when I attempt
to open SQL Server Express to administer the database, it was corrupted
and I had to restore it.

I eventually got it to work correctly (I'm pretty sure I followed
pretty much the same steps as before), but I was just wondering if
anyone had experienced problems like this? I find it a bit scary that
it may be that easy to corrupt the database by just creating a data
connection.

Whats the error message of the database, that you mean that the db is
corrupt ? Maybe you did something wrong in there. The be would be to
post you used code here as well as the error message you are facing.

I have to apologize -- I can't recreate the error and I didn't write
the orginal error message down.

If I see it again I will post. Thanks for your response.

Hi, someone could help me with this problem when trying to insert a record in a SQL express database? I can view record but not edit or insert. 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) thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
