I have found a tutorial that will teach me how to set up my first Database in Visual Studio Express 2010, but the first thing it tells me to do is right-click on the Data Connections Icon within Database Explorer and choose "Create New SQL Server Database" ... unfortunately, this option is greyed out, so I am assuming I have to choose "Add Connection" first ...This gives me 3 options :- Microsoft Access Database File
- Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5
- Microsoft SQL Server Database File
I am ignoring the first option as I want to use SQL not Access, but what is the difference between the two SQL options ?!?Can somebody please let me know, in straightforward English ?!?Thanks in advance ... |
