Having Trouble to start "SQL Server Management Studio" - sql-server-2005

I had VS-2008 in my PC and it was working fine with SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005.
But when i upgrade my Visual Studio Version to 2010, SQL Server stops working. Now i have MS Visual Studio 2010 in my PC and it is working fine. But when i start SQL Server it Doesn't suggest me any Server name.
I think VS 2010 doesn't support SQL Server 2005.
How could i start SQL Server, can anybody please help me with that.

Using SQL Server 2012 with SSMS 2008

I am using SSMS 2008 on an XP machine, trying to access a SQL Server 2012 database and get error messages indicating index out of bounds of array. What do I need to do to fix?
EDIT: (thanks #bluefeet ) : You can't install SSMS 2012 on Windows XP. See here: SQL Server 2012 Management Studio for Windows XP
Cause
The server you are connecting to is using SQL Server 2012. The error
is a result of incompatibilities with previous versions of SQL Server
Management Studio i.e. 2005, 2008, & 2008 R2.
Resolution
You will need to download SQL Server 2012 Management Studio to make
changes to your database. You can download it from the MSSQL Express
2012 website.

No Management Studio seen after SQL Server 2008 Express installation

I have recently successfully completed the installation of SQL Server 2008 Express.
After installation when I tried accessing SQL Server Express I found there was no Management Studio installed.
Is there an issue with express, that Management Studio is not installed during installation?
If yes how do we access SQL Server in this case?
I also tried installing Management Studio separately but however when I tried to login through the installed Management Studio the server was not found.
Am I missing something?
Does SQL Server Express not come with Management Studio?
Please Assist.
Thanks
sql server 2008 express does not have management studio. There is a Management Studio Express, but, IIRC, it must be downloaded separately.
The SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express can be downloaded from here. You'll need it to use a management studio with Express edition.

Connect SQL Server 2008 through Management Studio Express 2005

I am trying to connect SQL Server 2008 through Management Studio Express 2005. I have some limitations of Dot Net Framework upgrade on the client machine thats why trying to access it through 2005. I already implemented this solution:

But its not working. I have installed a Management studio express 2005 SP4. But its doing trouble. It connects the 2008 Database server but when i tries to view the table through design view it throws an error message "Unspecified error". Where as i am able to view table records by making a query request.
I am really stuck. Please help me out.

The backward compatibility for client tools in SQL server 2008 is not as good as we wanted to be... Sorry.

Connecting to SQL Server 2005

I'm VS2005 installed with SQL Server.
How can I use it to connect SQL Server 2005 and create new database? Am I missing SQL Server 2005's Management Studio to be able to make database queries?
In Visual Studio, you can do most of the database development tasks that you'd ever want to do without having to use Management Studio.
Here's an article describing how to connect to your database in Server Explorer: How to use the Server Explorer in Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio 2005
Here's what to do if you don't see Server Explorer in Visual Studio.
And here's a video to get you started: How to Use the Server Explorer in MS Visual Studio 2005
Use Server Explorer window in Visual Studio. It's capable of connecting to sql server instances and do most of the db management tasks.
