I have the CTP versions (December) of VWD and SQL Express.
Using SQLx Manager I am able to connect to the .\SqlExpress instance.
- I enabled all protocols using SQL Computer Mgr.
- I am logged on using Windows Authentication
- I am able to run the inetpubs.sql script: this creates the
Pubs database in the .\SqlExpress instance successfully.
- I am able to see Tables, Columns, Indexes, etc.
In Visual WebDev Database Explorer I am able to successfully
create the connection (I can even create another database).
However, when I try to open the Tables folder using
Database Explorer (right click Tables, refresh) I get the
error msg "Failed to retrieve data for this request".
I've reinstalled SQL Express and VWD about 4 times,
each time I experience the same problem
- This does not happen if I connect to a SQL 2000 database
- This did not happen in the Beta 1 of SQL express.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanx.
