Connecting to SQL Server

I am configuring a SQLDataAdapter using the Data Adapter
Configuration Wizard. I click New Connection. I select my
server name, user name and password, and the database
name. I test the connection. It works. I click Ok and
am asked for the password again. I enter it, and click
ok. I receive the following message:

"Unable to connect to database.
It is only possible to connect to SQL Server Desktop
Engine databases and Microsoft Access databases with this
version of Visual Studio."

What does this mean?

I'm using Visual Basic .NET Standard and am running SQL
Server 2000.

Hello J.
Sorry but you will have to upgrade to Visual Studio
Professional. You can't use vb.net standard for that or
you have setup MSDE instead of MSSQL to use it.

Kind Regards

You can't use any of the visual tools if you have standard, but you can
still connect to it...just not with visual tools. However, you cna use a
..config file for instance and point to it with a connection and get a very
similar effect...

After a lot of thought and research, and playing with FreeTDS and InlineTDS, as well as various ODBC connections, I have determined that the fastest and cheapest way to get up and going with PHP on Linux, connecting to MS SQL Server, unless it was already pre-installed by your Linux installation, is to build your own multithreaded TCP socket server on Windows and connect to it through the socket API in PHP on Linux (if you have installed...

Hi all, I would like to ask for some help regarding separating the asp.net webserver and the sql server. I have created an asp.net application for a certain company. Initially, we installed both the iis and sql server in a single machine.

Hello, I am having trouble connecting to a remote named instance of SQL Server via Pocket PC. I have had absolutely no luck connecting with VS 2005 (even to a default instance), so I wen't back to VS .NET 2003 (I had success doing this a while back).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
