Visual Studio 2008 ships with SQL 2005. I would like to integrate SQL 2008.
Are there significant reasons why one could not/ can not do this?
No reasons at all, it's quite common to do so. Just make sure you have Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed for SQL Server 2008 support.

We have Visual Studio 2010 with .Net Framework 4.5
and SQL Server version 2008.
We are in the process of migrating SQL Serer 2008 to 2014.
I want to know the steps to migrate to 2014 and is there any settings or extensions or updates to be done for Visual Studio to make it compatible with SQL Server 2014?
For full support of SQL Server 2014 inside Visual Studio, you need to run at least Visual Studio 2012 and have SSDT installed as outlined here.
However, to connect to SQL Server from your application or from Visual Studio and to do basic operations against the database no update to Visual Studio 2010 is required.
We would like to start using SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services in our company, but we are using SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Database Engine on a standalone server and have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on our programming PCs.
From what I understand, we need Visual Studio 2008 for BIDS to install. Is it necessary that the SQL Server 2008 Database Engine AND Visual Studio 2008 be on THE SAME machine to install BIDS?
Can I use any of the Visual Studio 2008 Express versions?
Just to clarify, you don't need to install any version of Visual Studio 2008 before installing BIDS.
When you install the SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools on your PC, this will include a version of Visual Studio 2008 with the business intelligence components installed.
From memory the requirement for Visual Studio 2008 is due to an incompatibility between Visual Studio 2010 and the Integration Services project type.
Yes, you can use Express Visual Studio
No, you don't need to install the DB engine. When you run the install, BIDS is listed under "client components" (or similar). The SQL Server install routine will install VS Express for you too.
Free trial or open source version for the following softwares?
Visual Studio 2010
Sharepoint 2010
SQL Server 2008
VS & SQL Server have express editions.
Visual Studio 2010 has many "Express" versions, for different languages - Visual C# Express 2010, Visual Basic Express 2010, and others.
SharePoint 2010 - I don't believe there is a free version of this, but if you have MSDN or TechNet subscription, you get a development-time-only version.
SQL Server has an express edition as well. I'd recommend SQL Server 2008 R2, however - may as well use the latest unless you have a reason not to.

I know there is an Issue using SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services and Visual Studio 2005, but does this error still exsist with Visual Studio 2008 and 2010?
If so, is there any work-aground to get this working?
I do know that SSIS 2005 requires VS 2005 and that SSIS 2008 requires VS 2008. So if you have upgraded your SQL Server 2005 client tool installation to 2008, there is no way (AFAIK) to create SSIS 2005 projects.
My guess is that you will see the same issues with SSRS as with SSIS.
I use C# and asp.net in visual studio 2008 standard. I just found out that there is no Visual studio 2010 standard.
I can't really afford Visual studio 2010 Pro.
So what am I going to lose when (if) I start using
C# 2010 express
web dev 2010 express
Have a look at this question, it has a complete list.
Prices were leaked here: Microsoft names Visual Studio 2010 dates. There is no Standard edition, Visual Studio 2010 Professional will be priced at $799, ooouuuuch!!!
I'm using the express editions of VS 2010 and here's what I've found to be missing compared to VS 2008 Pro:
No support for plugins at all (e.g. no Resharper or what not)
No windows Service template (this is really odd as this exists in VS 2008 C# express edition, so it must've been removed from 2008 express to 2010 express)
And that's pretty much it, there are probably other things missing too, however I haven't come across anything else.
I've used VS 2008 express editions at home for a long time (and now 2010 express), but run VS 2008 Pro at work.
