Hello everyone I am trying TFS 2012 express on my home server (just to try) and everything is fine.
Source control on my c# solution works! However, I am unsure where the source code repository of my solution resides for TFS 2012 express?
Does a "Check in file" from the solution save "ONLY" on the Sql express database?
Can you please explain to me and suggest a good site for documentation relating to TFS 2012 express.
TFS 2012 Express stores your source control repository in a SQL Express database, which is installed locally during setup.
You can also sign up for Team Foundation Service which hosts your source control in the cloud. It is free just like the express desktop edition for up to 5 team members.
Here are several links you can use to learn more about TFS 2012:
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Express 2012
MSDN Team Foundation Server2012

Before I start, I have Googled the hell out of this issue to no avail and the tech support at my office is equally stumped (shocking).
I installed SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012 from MSDN. It is currently working in Visual Studio 2012. I can create Integration Services projects without a problem - which is awesome.
However, when I open SQL Server Management Studio 2012, the options for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services are all grayed out. I am 90% sure I'm running Enterprise SSMS (please correct me if I'm wrong based on the "About" info below).
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.2100.60
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.9600.17420
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.18444
Operating System 6.1.7601
So my question is... how do I connect to these services in SSMS?
I know these "special services" require "special access rights granted by your DBA. After I got rights to see Integration Services, a "Integration Services Catalog" folder showed up under my server in the Object Explorer.
Am new for designing portal using visual web developer 2010 express edition. Almost i have finished designing work for a website. And, now i want to connect with database. but i dont know how to do that. So can anyone help me on this. Specifications are below
Visual web developer 2010 express edition
SQL server 2008
I am trying to do a sql server compact 4 data connection with visual studo 2010 express but I have seen that it is not listed under data connection. Also SQL server compact toolbox here:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0e313dfd-be80-4afb-b5e9-6e74d369f7a1
when I try to install its says it is not compatible with this version of visual studio (2010 express) so Is there a way to do a data connection to a sql server compact 4? Also servers browsers does not appear in visual studio 2010 express. I want to use and embedded sql server compact in my asp.net mvc4 web application without the need to install any sql server in the machine.
I know that with visual studio 2010 ultimate it is possible, sql server compact 4 data connection can be done and servers browser also appear under view menu. Also I am not sure if with other versions of visual studio 2010,p.e, professional it can be done as well or only with the ultimate.
In conclusion, I want to use sql server compact data connection with my visuals studio 2010 express, is it possible?
Yes, it is possible, but you must you VS 2010 Visual Web Developer Express, and resolve any install isssues according to the blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlservercompact/archive/2011/03/15/sql-server-compact-4-0-tooling-support-in-visual-studio-2010-sp1-and-visual-web-developer-express-2010-sp1.aspx - you can also use the standalone version of the SQL Server Compact Toolbox to open 4.0 files.
I need to deploy my database to a shared hosting enviroment and cannot use a file-based connection. The Database "Publish To Provider" option is not available anymore in VS2012 Express. I used to work with it in VS2010 and it was very handy. Is there any workaround to this in VS2012 Express? I know can use SQL Management Studio to generate the scripts but i'll have to attach the database for each project as i usually keep my databases in each project's App Data folder. There are also the SSDT but they don't work for VS express editions.
Thanks in advance.
From what I understand, it should automatically have it installed. What I have installed right now is SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2008 Developer.
Thanks,

If you installed the SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools, you will see the Business Intelligence project templates in Visual Studio 2008.
So, make sure that you installed SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools and not just the Express edition.
Check the following link to understand which SQL Server editions support Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 - Development Tools
Follow this link to find the steps to install SQL Server client tools.
SQL Server 2008 Client Tools Installation
Update:
If you have the SQL Server 2008 R2 Client tools installed, you should see a folder in the Windows Start --> All Programs option. Within that you should see SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. If you don't, then you don't have the client tools installed.
You can also open Visual Studio 2008 and navigate to Help --> About Microsoft Visual Studio and look for the following components to be installed.
SQL Server Analysis Services
SQL Server Reporting Services
SQL Server Integration Services
you need to install SSIS, SSAS and SSRS (which come with SQL Server 2008 installation, you just have to pick the option).
Once you install any them you will have access to BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio), which is visual studio with the BI templates
