i am new in .net, i am creating a project name Customer Maintenance Project but i am not able to find Data Form Wizard in visual studio 2010. also Data Form Wizard is missing from Templates: pane.
I've never seen this, and I suspect it refers to older versions of Visual Studio - pre-2005 (based on the 71 version number in the URL). My guess is that it was one of a number of rubbish RAD tools that ultimately wasn't popular, and required too much development to make it effective.
From Version 2005 onwards, databinding using datasource controls was introduced - along with a number of much improved server controls, which I suspect negated the need for a Form generation wizard.
This helped me. Maybe something you are looking for

i need you guys help. I added a SQL Server Database to my asp.net project. However when i try to create a new table in the database, the error "An incompatible SQL Server Version was detected" come up.
I tried looking up online for solution and install the SSDT for it however it still do not work. I checked under "Extension and Updates", Microsoft SQL Server Update is not stated there too so I don't know what is going on... please help me experts. Currently using visual studio 2015 community version.
Try this--though it is hard to explain, and the actual details/location of information may vary depending on version, edition, installation, language, phase of the moon, etc. etc.
No guarantee this is your problem, but it--or something similar--is possible.
Open the Properties for the database project
There should be a set of tabs or pages. One of these is "Project Settings"
There should be a dropdown labeled "Target platform
Set this to the version of SQL you have installed/are trying to support.

Walking through that... I suspect this might not actually be your problem. Thing is, there are settings and switches similar to this in many places, and one of them is probably what you are looking for. Good luck!
I am using Schema Compare feature in Visual Studio 2017 to compare a database with database project (.sqlproj).
If I apply some changes to the project it also adds blank lines to some of the schema files.
After some investigation I found that I'm not the only one facing this issue. From the number of upvotes I can guess that MS will not fix this issue soon.
Has anyone found any workaround for this?
Not really a workaround or a solution, but I remember having this issue on Visual Studio 2017 and the issue stopped arising when I upgraded to Visual Studio 2019.
You may want to check your error list in Visual Studio. There is a good chance that there are dependent objects (e.g. Users, Logins, Tables, Keys) that the object is dependent on and is missing and not synchronized. If you synchronized those missing object to your database project first it may resolve your issue.
We are planning to put out SQL Objects (Tables, StoredProcedures, UDF's and Views) under our existing TFS 2010 versio control.
Is is possible that any check-in's made to the objects under TFS version control gets automatically sync'd to our Development server. The technical team here are not so interested in having to make changes at 2 different places (Development Server + Check-in at TFS server). Its an overhead process change for them.
Late answer, but I hope it can be useful:
Recently, I've tried to find the solution for a similar problem, and I've bumped into a sql source control add-in for SSMS that works with the TFS, and I found some answers by reading this article:
SQL source control reduce database development time
I think it can be useful for you too (in case you couldn't solve your problem)
Hope I helped.
The best solution by far to do this is to use Red-Gate Source-Control. You will not find a better and easier product to do this, and all the other benefits you get from using it is huge. For example, it integrates 100% into SQL Management Studio.
You should use Visual Studio Database Projects. You'll get the best of both worlds! Source control and automated builds and deployment.
I found the solution to my unique scenario. I used the Sql server management studio project by using the TFS plugin for SSMS. Team can now easily make changes in the Development environment using SSMS and make check-ins at the same place. Nice and easy way to do things without additional overheads. However, this only solves the purpose of version control. I am still researching on how can we do schema compare and automated deployments using SSMS projects.
I need to know wether or not to buy the VS 2010 premium or not. I have the Visual StudioTeam System 2008 Database Edition working on my own version of vs 2008 team suite. My coworkers only have VS2008 professional. We are moving to VS2010 now. We do not have MSDN licenses for our company right now. We are looking to buy just the VS2010 no MSDN. It is very pricey to get 6 licences of VS2010 premium. We need to get our database into source control. We are currently email scripts around, and it very difficult to keep track off. Are there any non-microsoft solutions that would be the same features and be free?
Does the entire team need the Premium functionality? Contrary to the title of your question, VS2010 Professional does include the Database Project. What you don't get is schema compare, data compare, data generator, unit testing, refactoring, and static code analysis. So one compromise option would be to get one Premium for the person who needs the above tools, and leave everyone else with Professional?
How much time do you lose on your projects emailing data model changes around? How much extra time does the team spend debugging because of using that process? If you add up all that time, look at what could have been built instead and general developer happiness; maybe the price for VS Premium isn't so bad.
I'm just saying its easy to be blown away by sticker shock on tools until you add up all the lost time that could have been going to money making product development.
For database projects you definitely need what they call a "data dude" (Database Edition) or Team System (for 2008).
For 2010 it's either Premium or Ultimate.
Another option would be to move database development into the main (non-database project) by using some ORM tool. Either Linq2Sql, Entity Framework or a third party solution like nHibernate.
I have this huge legacy database that I'm trying to get under source control. I looked around here on stackoverflow and decided to use the Visual Studio 2008 database project, then committing stuff on svn. I successfully imported the schema into the project, but I can't find any way to use the user-friendly table designers with this kind of project. Whenever I open a table, it opens the DDL definition. I need the designers, otherwise I won't get buy-in from the team. Any suggestions/workarounds?
I'd use Microsoft® Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR. Which scripts every object in it's own file so makes it easy to track in version control.
For developers that don't want to use the tool let them develop in Management Studio and then use the Schema Compare tool in Database Edition to automatically extract out the changes from their development database into the project files when they are ready to check-in.
You may be able to write some (cunning) Visual Studio macros to do the Schema Compare automatically with the minimum of clicking for developers.
I found sql server management studio (express free or the full product) easier to use than visual studio database projects. The one good thing i liked about vs was that you could select multiple objects (e.g. all tables) in the server explorer and generate a single script for them. These are not easy to maintain but are good for a quick back up of all objects.
Management studio has the table and query designers and also allows execution plans and client statistic to be displayed so you can optimize queries/sps if required.
I have only used it with visual source safe for source control which works fine from Management Studio point of view, but vss is not great! (buggy, crashes, corrupts etc.)
Try opening the Server Explorer (View > Server Explorer). You may need to add a connection and then you can to the database tables, right click them and choose "Show table data".
0nce you're there you get the Query Designer toolbar and you're able to use the table designers.
