SQL Server SQL Server Not An Option As a Data Source
I'm in VS 2005 trying to access a database running on MS Sql Server Express 2005 (local machine). In VS i choose Data | Connect to Database | and then i select change on the Add Connection Dialogue box. For some reason I'm only given two options which are the following: MS Access Database File or MS SQL Server Database file. I've seen options in books showing MS SQL Server but that doesn't show as one of my options.

Is this a limitation of Express or do i need to adjust some options in the IDE Any help would be great. jeremy They really should mention this in the documentation. Five h ...Show All

Is the final version of XNA/GSE slated to be supported on Vista when its released I found it in the official XNA FAQ on the main MSDN-hosted site Q: Which versions of Windows does XNA Game Studio Express support A: XNA Game Studio Express is currently limited to Windows XP SP2 only. Once Windows Vista is released, XNA Game Studio Express will be fully supported on that version of Windows.
