I have started working on SSRS and I have installed SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition and already installed Visual Studio 2010. When i am opening VS2010 in that case i didn't seen Business intelligence Projects -> Report Server Project but whenever i am opening SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio under Microsoft SQL Server 2008 it shows in the new project wizard. My current project is in 4.0 and i have worked on that project using VS2010. How can Report Server Project show in VS2010?
SQL Server 2008 only uses a VS2008 shell. As Pratik says, you do need to use the SQL Server Setup and install the Business Intelligence Development Studio feature to install the VS2008 shell. You will not be able to use VS2010 to create your report server project until you upgrade to SQL Server 2012.
Gaurav you need to install the business intelligence development studio also to see the Report server project templates.

I have recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio 2012, however I cannot seem to see how to execute SQL scripts (created by Entity framework) on a SQL Server CE 4.0 database. With VS2010 + SSMS 2008 the Transact-SQL editor would ask for a connection and you could browse to the object, however this option is not available in SSMS 2012.
I have tried to execute the script via the Server Explorer -> New Query window, but I get parse errors. Any clues?
Microsoft got rid of that for SSMS 2012, and suggested to use the integrated tools in WebMatrix instead (from memory, can't find a link for that sorry).
As suggested in that Microsoft Answers post, however, you could use the SQL Server Compact Toolbox, it's pretty effective.
Try using the SQL Server Object Explorer instead of the Server Explorer. That should allow you to do what you wish.
I have Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2008 installed on my company since tree years. I installed TFS 2010 and I want to migrate the version control from 2008 to 2010.
I tried to use Team Foundation Server Integration Tools (March 2011 Release) but I've got an error/conflict when I tried to migrate:
The target server http://tfs2008:8080/
is not a TFS2010 server
I don't know why it says target and not source even I've putted it (tfs 2008) on the left source!!
Can anyone any idea what's going on?
Thank you and Kind Regards.
I was able to migrate from the tfs 2008 server, I ran the TFS integration tool from 2008 and it worked.
I'm trying to use the Visual Studio 2010 Express editions to set up an ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application using SqlExpress + Entity Framework as the data access. I have both the "C# Edition" and "Web Developer Edition" installed.
If I try to add a data source using the "C# edition", I'm missing the "Microsoft SQL Server" data source type.

but Visual Studio 2008 Professional has it.

as noted by another StackOverflow question, the "Web Developer Edition" has this. However, the Web Developer Edition doesn't support the Entity Framework items:

I'd want to stick with only the Express Editions. Is my use case one that Microsoft forgot about? What can I do here to use SqlExpress + MVC 2 + Entity Framework?
Thanks!

You should be able to select SQL Server Database File, then change the connection string to connect to SqlExpress.
I just ran into this same problem. Visual Studio C# Express 2010 SP1 only offers me Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 and Microsoft SQL Server Database File when creating or updating ADO.NET Entity Data Model (*.edmx) files.
However my copy of Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express SP1 is allowing me to add and update ADO.NET Entity Data Model (*.edmx) files in existing solutions and is allowing me to choose the Microsoft SQL Server option when building connection strings.
So the workaround for me is to simply switch between C# & Web Developer when messing with connection strings. Not sure if that's out-of-the-box for everybody or whether I've installed something else that switched the Microsoft SQL Server option on in Web Developer.
I have an old Report Server Project created in Visual Studio 2005. The reports are deployed to an SSRS 2005 Server.
When I open this project in Visual Studio 2008 it converts the project file and then when I try and deploy any of the reports (from Visual Studio 2008) I encounter this error:
The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded.
Is there anyway I can edit and deploy my report files in Visual Studio 2008 without upgrading them. This would save me having to install Visual Studio 2005 on my new laptop.
As far as I know there is no way of editing SQL 2005 Report files with VS 2008. That's why we still have VS 2005 installed here.
I have a number of dtsx projects created under Visual Studio 2005.
When I try to convert the solution to 2008 it converts fine but then the .dtproj file can't be loaded:
myProj.dtproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.dtproj) is not supported by this version of the application.
I have SQL Server 2005 installed but I got rid of Visual Studio 2005 as I am moving all my projects to Visual Studio 2008.
Reinstall the shell for BIDS. You can't use VS 2008 with SQL Server 2005 dtsx.
