Is it possible to use LINQ in the express version of visual studio? I am planning on refactoring my project to use LINQ, but I am the only person in my group that has a copy of visual studio pro. Will that cause any problems if someone using the express version has to modified my code?
Edit
I realize that the graphical tools are not available in the express version, so my question does not pertain to those. I am more interested in the actual code, which I assume will work
Yes, it will work.
From the Visual C# Express 2008 page:
Build applications using LINQ (Language Integrated Query) which adds data querying capabilities for SQL Server, XML, and objects to Visual C#
I found the same information on the VB Express 2008 page
http://www.microsoft.com/express/vb/Default.aspx

I have my database in phpmyadmin.
Now I have to use that database in SQL server database.
But I cannot import .SQL file into visual studio 2010.
So please give me a solution so that I can use that database and perform CRUD operation also.
Okay so im trying to help you dude. but first, you must understand that phpmyadmin is just an RDMS environment for accessing, configuring, managing, administering, and developing all components of the RDMS. So what does it mean? you can still work on visual studio probably c# or vb (i guess) so you can perform a CRUD operation. How? these are the things you need to do:
know how to connect your prepared .net language (c# or vb) - you might need to look at Connector/NET mysql. you can google, its free.
familiarized on the said library.
find some tutorial on how to do crud operation. maybe this article is great for you. Good Luck
I tried to open this old SQL Server 2005 code example from a book, but the conversion wizard for both VS 2010 or VS 2012 won't conver this .dtproj, it fails every time and there is really no good reason in the conversion log to help. I assume the project type has changed dramatically or maybe not, I don't know but I can't figure out how to convert it so I can open it again in newer versions of VS (after VS 2008).
You might try using an older version like SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. I think that is the proper version for 2005 code. I'm sure there was a free version.
Just want to find out if anyone has used or is currently using Sql Compact 4.0 for development. Basically we are looking for tools that can support the creation of change script similar to the one we have in Sql Server 2008 Management Studio.
If you are not sure what that feature is, basically whenever you make schema changes, you can simply generate the change script to be run elsewhere. I haven't come across any tools that can provide that kind of feature for Sql Compact 4.0.
Has anyone come across that kind of tool? If so, can you please let me know?
Thanks in advance.
You can use my SQL Server Compact Toolbox (VS add-in or standalone) http://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com to do schema diff scripting
Is it possible to get the same level of syntax highlighting in Visual Studio 2008, that SQL Server Management Studio has? This is regarding T-SQL.
For example SSMS has separate highlighting options for operands, system functions etc, while Visual Studio 2008 only seems to have one 'keyword' for T-SQL.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but someone did come up with an app that will take your VS color settings and convert them over to ones that will work in SQL Server Management Studio. You can find the post about it here.

To get a better level of control you will have to write an addin and a parser, both of which are very tricky.
VS 2010 will have MEF and WPF which means that writing addins which change the visuals will be significantly simpler.
If you are looking for a simpler framework to write this kind of stuff in VS 2008 have a look at DXCore.
I use SQL 2008 and VS 2008 DB Pro edition. And what I often do is writing SQL in SSMS and copy & paste to VS.
New version of Management Studio (i.e. the one that ships with SQL Server 2008) finally has a Transact-SQL IntelliSense feature. However, out-of-the-box it only works with SQL Server 2008 instances.
Is there some workaround for this?
There's no known trick 'in the wild' for getting around this, other than using CTP-6 of SQL Server 2008 (in favour of the RTM).
the reasons for removing backward compatability (and a lot more discussion besides) are provided at the relevant feedback in microsoft connect.
edit: sorry i don't know where this ctp is available, if at all
Has anyone tried either patching SSMS not to check the version (perhaps try looking at the binary differences between CTP 6 and RTM?), or patching SS 2005 to pretend to be 2008?
Unclean, I know, but I don't see any other way.
