Connecting to a DATABASE in visual studio 2010

Accepted answer

Yes, you need to enter the server name/computer manually with user credentials for access.

Or, go to Server Explorer (Crtl+Alt+S) and Add New Connection.

There are also other articles in this web site about creating connections. Look at the comments for Suthish's article for other possibilities.

If you are not able to find server name on dropdown, you need to type server name.

On Server Explorer click on Add Connection. Provide servername/IP, select authentication type (if it is SQL Server Authentication provide username and password). If you already have database, select database. And click on Ok.
