I’m trying to use Linq on this project. Therefore I need the database to show up in Database Explorer so I can use the Object Relational Designer.
I’ve done this before (I think) but this time it won’t work and I don’t know why.
- right click and add connection
- change data source to Microsoft SQL Server Database File
- how do i select the database?
correction – i just let it create the database but now I dont know how to open it in sql server.
Looks like the Service “SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)” is stopped so please go to Services and start. Once it has started then retry connecting it
