im having major issues trying to mirror our newly upgrade database solution (to GDR)... specifically the database project settings.
when i run a schema compare, i get differences on the IsTornPageProtectionOn variable, however when I go to the settings of the database project this setting is nowhere to be found!
i have tried googling for any sort of reference to this property in the visual studio 2k8 UI, however i cant find anything. only a bunch of obscure references on the msdn site, which dont say anything in regards to the ui.
if someone could point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it.
i am using sql server 2005.
i figured out an (obvious) workaround to this...
i simply edited the database settings file (the Database.sqlsettings file) in notepad and changed the setting via there. much easier :)
although if someone DOES still know where to change it from in the UI, i would appreciate it if you left a comment :)

I just installed SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2016, started it, and it has an odd low-resolution feel to it. Dialog heading are slightly blurry, and things just don't look like previous versions of SSMS. For example, SSMS 2012 still looks normal when I start it.
Any ideas?
Edit: I just noticed the downvotes. Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone and I can modify this post if needed (just tell me what I'm doing wrong). In case anyone is wondering, I have googled this issue extensively, but to no avail.
I ended up just biting the bullet and modifying the registry as outlined here:

This resolved the issue in SSMS 2016.
I'm doing a school project using Visual Studios 2010 Express and I'm coding in vb.NET. I have fair knowledge of the language but as soon as I tried to implement a SQLite database in my project, I was hit with complicated syntax I've never before seen. So, I searched online and couldn't find helpful tutorials on SQLite specifically for vb.NET. Nobody has made videos on YouTube for it and most websites just show code and expect people to know it. Since I'm doing a write-up as well, I need to understand each line of code inside out, so it would be nice if someone could give me an in-depth guide on how to set up a SQLite database on my vb.NET project.
PS: I've already installed the References like ADO.NET and System.Data.SQLite.dll
Thanks!
Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong here. I have a SharePoint 2010 workflow I am coding in Visual Studio, and I was trying to emulate what is being done here, but as soon as I hit this line:
PdfConverter pdfConverter = new PdfConverter();
My workflow errors out.
I have Phil's book (workflow's in action) which contains an old version of the winnovative dll in one of his code samples, and thinking that might be the issue, I downloaded the newest version from winnovative's site, updated the using line at the top from:
using Winnovative.WnvHtmlConvert;
to simply:
using Winnovative;
as per the developer documentation that came with this newer version, and still no luck. Is there something else I need to do that I'm missing when using this with SharePoint? When utilizing an XSL style sheet for some transforms I had to deploy the xsl to the templates via my project utilizing the sharepoint mapped folder from within Visual Studio. Is something similar required for the winnovative dll to be utilized as well, so that the functions within the dll can be accessed? Do I need to do regsvr32 on the sharepoint server to utilize (something that literally just occurred to me as I'm writing this post), or is adding the reference in visual studio and compiling my code enough? Sorry, not the world's greatest developer, so some insight would be HUGELY appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
I figured it out. Following the breadcrumbs of my questions, I found out the dll needed to be deployed to the GAC. Once I did that it worked. This has been a big learning experience, but at least now I know. Thanks for looking.
I am trying to setup a simple snippet in SQL Server management studio. When I heard the word "snippet", I assume that they would work like they do in Visual Studio. By that I mean that there are variables that get filled in, etc... I am not seeing that.
Can someone tell me whether SSMS 2012 supports Visual Studio style snippets. If so, can you provide an example of a snippet that supports variable replacement.
This might be close to what your looking for. Under View->Template explorer is a list of a whole bunch of structures that you regularly use when working with, building, developing databases. You can also get to it using Ctrl+Alt+T. There are literally hundreds in there. Everything from building a view to setting up a trigger to creating XML schemas.
The really nice thing with templates is you can build your own structures that you regularly use. I have built quite of few of my own templates to hold snippets that I have acquired from the likes of Brent Ozars blitz scripts and others like the improved SP_WHO from Adam Machanic and such.
While maybe not as fancy (read interactive) as the ones you'll find in the Visual Studio projects I find them very handy.
If you use these templates there is another little feature that can be very handy. If you press Ctrl-Shift-M (or use the toolbar button that shows an A->B) you get a dialog that lets you easily replace the template parameters with your own values.
Update post research into SSMS2012
I just recently started using SSMS 2012 and see there is a new feature that I wasn't aware of. When right clicking you do in fact see the 'Insert Snippet' drop down. I understand your question better now. Apparently however, these are pretty much the same as what I posted above.
I'm giving Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition (GDR Version) a go on a new project I'm working on and have come up against a slightly annoying problem that I am hoping someone knows how to resolve.
In a nutshell, I would like to alter the default templates used to generate database objects, particularly stored procedures. In the past, using SSMS, I have simply created my own templates which contain the formatting, default number of parameters, etc, that I would generally like to use whenever I create a new sproc. This obviously eliminates a good amount of hand coding and just "feels right" to me to have some consistency in my T-SQL code.
I've tried editing the .sql files located in ..\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\DBPro\Items by adding the formatting and default constructs I would like to use. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get VSTS to recognize these changes. When I add a new stored procedure using the GUI it still uses the default stored procedure formatting.
I've tried shutting down Visual Studio and starting it back up after making these adjustments, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
Does anyone know how to do this? I haven't been able to find any documentation on MSDN or the DBPro teams' blogs, but I have a feeling this can done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\DBPro\Items is a legacy directory. These are the wrong templates. The right templates are in Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VSTSDB\Extensions\SqlServer\Items. Editing these works, and you don't even have to close visual studio.
