I'm trying to add a new SQL Database to my window form application
through Add New Item.  I then receive the message box with this error
message:

 "Connections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express
2005 to function properly.  Please verify the installation of the
component or download from the URL:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251"

I have SQL Server Express installed.  I installed it with the Visual
Studio 2005 installed and connect to it with no problems using Microsoft
SQL Server Management Studio.  So I know that is working properly.

Thanks in Advanced.

Thanks Jeffrey,  the problem turned out to be a problem in Visual Studio
with an incorrect setting.

What I did was go into Tools, Options, Database Tools, Data Connections.

Under SQL Server Instance Name (blank for default) i had the following
in there:  MyComputerName\SQLEXPRESS

I changed it to the following:  SQLEXPRESS

I also tested it just leaving it blank and working too.

Of course I would love to say a favorite end user quote "I never changed
it", but I'm too geeky to know that.

Happy Coding!

Brian Piesik

Hi Brian,

I am glad you finally resolved this problem. I am not sure why your default
setting is MyComputerName\SQLEXPRESS, my VS2005 IDE's default setting is
"SQLEXPRESS".

Anyway, if you need further help, please feel free to post. Thanks

Best regards,

Hi Brian and Jeffrey. I have to say that my Visual Studio Express 2005
instance name - text box was empty.

I changed it to SQLEXPRESS and its working fine now. I can add a database to
the project.

I was amost going to buy the C# Book with the Visual Studio 2005
Professional trial (180 Days).

thanks Soheil
