I am trying to add a SQL Server database item to my ASP.Net site.
I have SQL Server 2012 installed, but when I click add in Visual Studio, I get the following error
To connect to SQL Server database files (.mdf), you must install and run SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Server 2008 Express on the local computer. The current version of SQL Server Express can also be downloaded at the following URL: "
I am wondering if I can work from 2012 the way it would be from 2005/2008, or do I need to download 2005/2008 to get this feature?
I just ask because it seems a little strange that VS2013 is not compatible with SQL Server 2012 ...
PS: I try to follow the next tutorial, and thatβs why I hope this works, so I can follow the tutorial as intended. " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyr1YXpNOrk "
