I have recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2010. I have kept database projects separate to application projects. The database project was converted from and old DPR project and added a whole lot of additional folder. I deleted those, but now I suspect I need to recreate the project as these new projects work very differently.
Now that I have need to update scripts, it seems I cant even paste new SQL files into the project so am a bit stuck. Are there any tutorials / walkthrough that show the basics on starting and creating a database project? Or even better a video?
Also if there are any tips and tricks or comments on this, I will be happy to hear them?
The database project is a special type of Visual Studio.NET project. Its purpose is to create and manage SQL database scripts. If you're developing database applications with Visual Studio.NET, you will want to know about the tools available for making your work with data- bases easier and faster.
Click File, New, then Project. In the New Project dialog box, select SQL Server in the left pane. Notice that there is only one type of database project: the SQL Server Database Project. There is no platform-specific project as in previous versions of Visual Studio.
To connect to a database instance In Visual Studio, make sure that SQL Server Object Explorer is open. If it is not, click the View menu and select SQL Server Object Explorer. Right-click the SQL Server node in SQL Server Object Explorer and select Add SQL Server.
Microsoft's tutorials and walk-throughs gave me what I needed to get started.
