I'm already using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 and now I want to upgrade to SQL Server 2014. But there is an error
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported
But connect via coding I got the data but not viewing table data in Server Explorer.
You cannot access correctly the Server Explorer using a lower version SSMS on a newer version of SQL Server (if that is what you mean).

When I try to connect to database from Microsoft Visual Web Developer, I keep getting the same error message.
"This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later."
I'm currently using Microsoft SQL Server 2008, so technically I shouldn't be facing this problem at all. Is there a fix for this?
I want upgrade my SQL Server 2008 by installing SP2, however, I could not check the instance name as snapshot shows. I can confirm this service is running as I have checked in Administration tool.
The error message on the right is pretty clear - you have SQL Server 2008 (v10.0.1600.22) installed, and you're trying to apply the Service Pack 2 for SQL Server 2008 R2 (v10.50.1600.1) on top of it.
SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 are two different versions of SQL Server! You cannot do this. You need to download Service Pack 2 for SQL Server 2008 (not 2008 R2!)
From the error screen on the top right says the version is mismatched have you tried using windows update to install service packs?
I found this error when I was adding my database to visual studio 2010 for making a MVC3 application. I am using SQL Server 2008.
The database 'C:\USERS\KAPIL.AGRAWAL\DOCUMENTS\VISUAL STUDIO 2010\PROJECTS\DT\DT\APP_DATA\DTRIAL.MDF'
cannot be opened because it is **version 661**.
This **server supports version 655** and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported.
**Could not open new database** 'C:\USERS\KAPIL.AGRAWAL\DOCUMENTS\VISUAL STUDIO 2010\PROJECTS\DT\DT\APP_DATA\DTRIAL.MDF'.
CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:\users\kapil.agrawal\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\dt\dt\App_Data\dtrial.mdf failed.
A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened,
or it is located on UNC share.
It seems that the database was created with SQL Server 2008 R2 (version 611) and you are trying to open it with SQL Server 2008 RTM or SP1 (version 655). You cannot backup/restore or detach/attach from a higher version to a lower version. You could upgrade your local database server to SQL 2008 R2. See this article for more information.
Getting an error running a sample MVC2 site because of DB version errors. I ran the installer for SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and it finished, I rebooted. Try to run the site again and see the same error. Downloaded/ran R2 installer and chose upgrade but there is nothing to upgrade... is something wrong in my VS2010 or windows in general? Don't know what else to do.
Just ran a discovery report and 2008 is also installed. Maybe thats the problem?

I was able to connect VS 2010 to the SQL server database in this instance C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS. Also ensure in SQL configuration manager, SQL browser and SQL instances are running and set to automatic and Network service
Seems to me it will be able to connect to SQL express database instances only when logged in as administrator VS 2010 express editions to create/modify an application.
Two installions. Had two instance names. Changed the instance name in VS2010 database tools.
I am looking to manage a SQL Server 2008 DB using Management Studio 2005. The reason for this is because our server is a 64-bit machine and we only have the 64-bit version of the software.
Is this possible?
How about managing a SQL Server 2005 DB using Management Studio 2008?
UPDATE: You can use Cumulative update package 5 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 to connect to 2008.
FIX:
50002151 946127 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946127/) FIX: You may experience problems when you use SQL Server Management Studio in SQL Server 2005 to connect to an instance of SQL Server 2008
The other question you asked was about managing 2005 servers with SSMS 2008 - and yes, you can do that. SSMS 2008 can manage 2008, 2005, 2000. I actually recommend that everybody use the latest SSMS 2008 client regardless of what server they're connecting to, because it has some nice perks and upgrades that work with all server versions that you connect to.
Be aware that SSMS 2008 has IntelliSense, but only when you connect to a SQL 2008 server. If you connect to a 2005 server, you don't get IntelliSense.
I'm posting this to prevent people getting false hope (as I did). Where as you may be able to use SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to connect to SQL Server 2008, you cannot use SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. You get an explicit error message stating:
This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionDlg)
Hopefully that will prevent a couple of people from wasting their time trying just-in-case.
unless I'm mistaken and things have changed, you cannot use sql server 2008 to save a backup which restores to sql server 2005. I found this out the hard way :(
