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.

Today I installed SQL Server 2014 Express and Management Studio.
It sounds like you installed just SQL Server 2014 Express and Management Studio. Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Shared Management Objects is part of the "Feature Pack" downloads for SQL Server 2014:
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Shared Management Objects
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) is a .NET Framework object model that enables software developers to create client-side applications to manage and administer SQL Server objects and services. This object model will work with SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014.
Note: Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects requires - Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types, that is available on this page.
Filename: X86 and x64 Package(SharedManagementObjects.msi)
I have Sql Server 2012 SP1 but I can't find how to create a sql compact server. It is not under connections like it was in sql server 2008.
Did they move it or do I have to install something else? According to web platform installer I have sql compact server 4.0 installed on my machine.
SQL Server 2012 doesn't come with Compact Edition.
I believe it comes with Visual Studio 2012 SP1, and it would be visible trough it.

does SQL Server Management Studio integrated in to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition?
if i am installing SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition than i required to install SSME separately?
Please help Thanks...
Management Studio comes with the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition suite. It's part of management tools. You have the option NOT to install it, but that is not recommended.
When I try to make a new data connection from a Visual Studio 2008 to a database on SQL Server 2008, it fails. It says, it supports SQL Server connections up to SQL Server 2005 version only.
What is missing in my installation? Or where are settings I should change?
You need to install the Visual Studio 2008 service pack 1.
See Microsoft Support for more information.
Is there any difference between sql server that comes with visual studio 2008
and sql server express 2008 ?
thank's in advance
No, Visual Studio 2008 comes with SQL Server Express 2008. It IS SQL Server Express 2008 - the whole, full, complete, absolutely identical thing to what you can download.
By now, there are four editions of SQL Server 2008 Express:
SQL Server 2008 Express - Runtime only - that's the one bundled with Visual Studio 2008
SQL Server 2008 Express - Management Tools Add-On (SQL Server Management Studio Express)
SQL Server 2008 Express - Runtime + Management Tools (combination of the two above)
SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services (Reporting Services and Fulltext Search and including the Management Tools)
But the copy included in VS 2008 is indeed the full "SQL Server 2008 Express - Runtime only" package - no difference, no compromise, no "scaled-down" version or anything.
