I have VS 2005 PROFESSIONAL Edition. When I drop the Servers node in the Server Explorer, I do not see a "SQL Servers" node in the tree. It is my understanding that VS 2005 PROFESSIONAL should show this node. Any ideas why this is not the case
Thanks for your assistance.

Manuelmpf,
I check the http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/tour/vs2005_guided_tour/GuidedTourGoals.htm website and compared the difference among the Express, Professional and Enterprise edition of Visual Studio 2005.
If you use the Express Edition, there is no Server Explorer at all but the Database Explore. However, if you don't install anyy SQL Server Database on your operating system, I don't thhink the Server Explorer can find the SQL Server node. In your post you don't metion it, too.
Could you please try to add your SQL Server node manually after you make sure the SQL Server Database runs well on the operating system Then if you have any problems, please contact me.
