So....I am a rookie at this so if I missed something simple, please excuse me, but I don't know.
So i downloaded Visual Web Developer 2008, SQL Server Express 2008, etc, and I am trying to learn how to use SQL Server, and create .aspx web pages, etc.
So one of the first things I tried was the Hello world (C#) ine Web Dev and it worked fine. Then I tried adding a SQL database object from the 'add objects' option in web developer and got the following:
"Connections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download it from...."
So am I missing something...the SQL Server Management Studio stuff is working fine...but
I AM REALLY NEW TO THIS. Any advices is very much appreciated! Thanks!
