Visual studio 2010 with sql server 2008 (default with vs10) and sql 2012. How can I choose from 2008 or 2012 while adding database in server explorer?

I have Visual studio 2010, sql server 2008 R2 and sql server 2012 express installed in my windows 8 pc.
When I create any database project in vs2010 it uses the sql sever 2012 (Using server Explorer window).
I want to change this behavior and want to choose 2008 or 2012 server as per my need.
Is it possible??
I don't have Sql server Management Studio.

After the project is created:
Open the database project's properties.
Go to the Project Settings tab.
Change "Target platform" to SQL Server 2008 or whichever option you need.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express doesn't start automatically

I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. It is set to automatic start in services. But when I start computer, it doesn't start automatically. I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1 as well.

I had a client that had this problem with Avast Antivirus. At this point their PC guy has not fixed it you. The problem with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express started right after they installed it in April 2013. We can start it manually after start up.

"This server version is not supported.Only Up To Microsoft SQL server 2005 are supported" in Visual Studio 2008 Cannot Connect to SQL server 2008 R2

Getting this error "This server version is not supported.Only Up To Microsoft SQL server 2005 are supported" after I create a data connection in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL server 2008 R2. Any ideas would be great.
No other version of SQL server Installed.
The error occurs after I select server, then database.
Just as I click OK I get that message.

After installing SQL Server R2 I reinstalled VS 2008 SP1, this fixed my issue:

SQL Enterprise Manager R2

I would like to use SQL Enterprise Manager to manage my SQL Azure Databases. Everywhere I look everyone says that if you want to use the object browser then you need R2.
However I can not find Enterprise Manager R2 anywhere. Not unless I install DataCenter R2.
Where can I find Just Enterprise Manager R2?

The SQL Azure team recommends using SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio [Express] or Data Connections under Visual Studio 2010's Server Explorer.
You can download Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM - Management Studio Express from here.
