How to run SQL Server 2008 mdf file with Visual Studio 2012

I created a database with SQL Server Management Studio 2008 then I copied the .mdf file to my Visual Studio 2012 project but I'm getting compatibility errors. Is it possible to do it in this way?
I tried to add connection to server explorer but I'm getting the error below:
I think it is because of I copied the .mdf file but I'm not sure.
Why I want to add specific SQL Server 2008 .mdf file is because I want to run my code also in Windows XP and I found that XP supports only SQL Server 2008.
So what should I do in this case?
Any advice?
Thanks

cannot checkin from SSMS could not load file or assembly microsoft.teamfoundation.versioncontrol.controladapter

I have the following installed on my machine:
SQL Server 2012 developer edition
VS Express 2013 for Web
VS Express 2013 For Desktop
TFS Express 2013
I can check in/out my projects through both VS Express 2013 installs, I am wanting to make my Stored Procs encrypted so need to keep unencrypted copies within a solution in TFS so have this setup but whenever I try to check in via SSMS I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly
"Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.ControlAdapter"
Version=12.0.0.0
Has anyone experienced this before or have a solution how to resolve it as the file does exist on my machine.
Have you installed the latest MSSCCI Provider found on visual studio gallery? And have you checked the SSMS options under source control provider, that it is set to Team Foundation Server. Remember that MSSCCI Provider requires Team Explorer 2013 to be installed as well.

Cannot manage .sdf file in VS 2010 Ultimate SP1

I keep getting this error whenever I try to open a local DB .sdf file in VS 2010 SP1 Ultimate
Data provider required to connect to local data file could not be found.The file will be added to project but the typed dataset associated with the file will not be generated.
I have the VS 2010 SP1 Tools for SQL Server Compact 4.0 already installed.
Basically I had VS 2010 Express installed and that worked just fine, I have since uninstalled it and installed VS 2010 SP1 Ultimate.
How can I fix this annoying error?
You must install the SQL Server Compact 4.0 Tools for VS 2010 SP1 as well, I have a direct link here: http://erikej.blogspot.dk/2011/01/sql-server-compact-40-released.html

Export SQL database to MDF to use as local file in VS2010 error

I want to get a MS SQL database from SQL Server 2008 R2 to an MDF to use locally in a program. I detached the DB and manually copied the MDF, but whenever I try to open it up in VS, I get an error that it cannot be opened because it is version 661. I received the data as a CSV, used Access to import it and exported it to a local SQL implementation. Most importantly, what am I doing wrong?
Also, I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to create an MDF file from a CSV?
Thanks!

Well, as I said - the basic approach is OK - detach the MDF, copy the file, open it as a local database in Visual Studio.
BUT: it would appear that you're trying to use a SQL Server 2008 R2 MDF file, but the SQL Server version that Visual Studio 2010 supports/installs is SQL Server 2008 Express.
You cannot go from a newer SQL Server version (2008 R2) back to an older version (SQL Server 2008) - this is not supported.
One possible way to solve this would be to explicitly uninstall SQL Server 2008 Express that Visual Studio 2010 installed, download the SQL Server 2008 R2 Express version from Microsoft's web site and install it (as the .\SQLExpress instance, as did Visual Studio).
Once you have the same version of SQL Server - both on your main server as well as from within Visual Studio, then you should be able to achieve what you're looking for.

I'm having problems connecting to TFS VS2010 from VS 2008

If you are not able to connect to TFS VS2010 from VS2008. This might save you some time.
Connecting from VS2008 to TFS VS2010
Step:1 Make sure that Service Pack 1 is installed with Sql Server 2008
Step:2 Make sure that Service Pack 1 is installed with VS2008
Step:3 Make sure that Team Explorer is installed in VS 2008
Step:4 Make sure that Service pack 1 is updated for Team Explorer
Step:5 After all these Service Packs are installed on your machine, follow the below path
CmdPrompt> regedit
Hkey_Current_User>Software>Microsoft>VisualStudio>9.0>TeamFoundation> Right Click Servers>New>String Value
Give the complete URL path which look like ‘http://swstfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection’
Step:6 Close everything and open VS2008
File>Open>TeamProject
Step: 7 Connect.
I connected to TFS, but the problem is while I am trying to open the solution through VS2008 into TFS it is showing me an error
"This project (fmPilot.SSIS.ClientIntegrations.sln) cannot be opened from source control because it was created by a version of Microsoft Visual Studio that is incompatible with this one.
If this is the case, you may be able to open it from source control using that version of Microsoft Visual Studio, and then use Microsoft Visual Studio to open the local copy."
I also tried it through VS2010 but it is showing me an error
"Cannot be openned because its project type(/dtproj) is not supported bby this version of the application."
Can somebody help me on that..... I google it some says that permission might be the reason.. Please help me...
Thanks,
Karthik
Make sure that you have Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) installed on your machine. Having just Visual Studio 2008 doesn't mean that you can open SSIS packages.
To verify whether you have BIDS installed:
Open Visual Studio 2008 IDE. Click Help and About Microsoft Visual Studio.
Make sure that you see SQL Server Integration Service.
Another way to verify is by trying to create a new project in VS 2008. You should see Business Intelligence Projects under Project types.
If you do not see this, then it means you don't have BIDS installed on your local machine. You can install BIDS by installing SQL Server 2008 client tools.
Following link shows how to install SQL Server 2008 client tools.
