I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and I already have Visual Studio 2010.
When I try to connect to the SQL Server there exists no server on my Add Connection while my database engine works properly.
Why is that so?
As far as I can tell, in Server Explorer, you need to click the "Connect to Database" toolbar icon (or right-click Data Connections and choose "Add Connection...").
From the Data source list, choose Microsoft SQL Server and then click Continue. The Add Connection dialog box displays so you can enter your server name (machinename\instancename). You can choose between Windows or SQL Server Authentication (depends on how you set it up, but Windows Authentication should work for a local installation).
Once you have entered a correct server name and credentials you'll get a list of databases to choose. Select one if you wish and click OK. That should get your server added to the list for Visual Studio 2010.
The issue is that is VS 2010, you need to type in your localhost instead of choosing the connection from the drop-down list. I hope this issue is resolved in the next releases.
I believe if from VB 2010 you go to Project >> Add New Item and choose the appropiate path for your server it should work.

Getting error "'CONNECTIONPROPERTY' is not a recognized
This is the new problem I have in VS 2022 it works fine in VS 2019
The same, issue is happening with Visual Studio 2022. It works fine with VS 2019.
The connections/ login window looks like in SQL Server Management Studio.
Details: in Visual Studio on the SQL Server Object Explorer I was able to add the PDW server.
I can browse the server tables, stored procedures, security and all.
If I right-click on a database, or table and select "New Query", it will ask me to log in with the same window as M Studio.
I am able to connect fine if I open an existing query.DSQL file it allows me to use history connections or connect normally.
So I am connected to the server on SQL Server Object Explorer but when try to open a stored procedure it asks to login again and that is where it fails because it tries to connect with different parameters
I get this(https://i.stack.imgur.com/PYcFr.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/PYcFr.png)
instead of (https://i.stack.imgur.com/0beik.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/0beik.png)
when I add the server I am able to brose the databases table and so on when try to open query window
it ask you to connect when was already connected.
the error is related that it try to connect like management studio that does not allow connection to PDW.
then I do have a different window see the pictures
I have SQL Server 2014, VS 2012 and VS 2013. Both VS are ultimate versions. I can not access SQL server from either VS.
Example:
Open VS. From Tools menu, select "Create Database". Enter SQL Server name, select a database (all the DBs are listed OK). Click on Test connection button. Connection is OK.
Now when I click the OK button, I get the following error.
Unable to add data connection. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral....... The system cannot find the file specified.
From VS, Server Explorer, right click on Data Connections, "Create a new SQL Server database". Enter Server name, enter new database name. Error message appears:
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 are supported.
I will appreciate if anyone can help.
Thank you, Saleem
Please try this once:
Go to Sql Sever Configuration Manager
Then SQL Server Network Configuration -->Protocols for SQL Server
Then Named pipes --> Rc Properties
Copy the Pipe Name.
then go to Visual Studio--> Server Explorer-->Data Connection-->Rc Add Connection
Then Paste the Copied Pipe Name in Server name
Test the Connection.
That's it. I hope it is helpful.
I have SQL Server 2005 SP4 Express, when I try to establish connection from VS2010 to my database, I get a error:
You don't have permission to open this file
Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission.
I am using windows authentication and I am the only user.
Please help me out to overcome this error.
Also sometimes, it shows file is already open
First of all close visual studio. Now open visual studio run as administrator.
If it not solved your problem then open sql server management studio and follow the steps.
Expand your database.
Right click on your database and choose properties option.
A pop is open, select option menu reside on left side.
Make auto close option true situated in automatic pane.
I am sure your problem is solved now.....

I'm new to using Visual Studio and SQL Server.
My problem is this:
I have created a database in SQL Server Management Studio, then I'd like to connect it my app in Visual Studio. I right click in the Server Explorer and click on Add connection. Here I can find through dropdown list my server, but when selecting the database under "Connect to a database" it doesn't find my new database in the dropdown list...
Can you help me please? Thank you a lot :-)
check whether it is windows authentication or server authentication in sql server 2008 where you have created the database. If it is server authentication then check whether you are entering correct username and password.
I have connected with the database successfully by using wizard in server explorer. but the data source is showing nothing. i have googled and search on msdn help. but not get help.
I want to add data source. but add new data source option is disabled for me.
I am using windows form application...
I want ask that am i doing right. could you please tell me how can i get rid of not showing thing.
PLEASE HELP!!!
The Server Explorer of Visual Studio 2010 and the Datasource of your application are completely different. Check the following links to see how you can connect your Windows Form Application with Sql-Server database:
