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.

I updated my Windows 7 to SP1 for the purpose to install Visual Studio 2013. I am successfully done my job to install Visual Studio 2013. But the problem arises when I try to install SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2 Management Studio.
The SQL Server service is not running in services.msc and the SQL Server Browser service is not even listed in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Please help me because I have install SQL Server 2008 Management Studio several times and update it also to SQL Server SP1 but still not running SQL Server service in services.msc.
Due to this I cannot connect my database engine.
Providing I also enter the correct instance name several times by following the link

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).
I am really new on visual studio. I am using visual studio 2015 and only installed microsoft sql server 2008 pack 1.
So the problem goes like this, when I created a database.mdf and add new table it seems like something was not right there because after I created table, I cannot view list of the table (when I expanded the table folder) through server explorer. then noticed that inside my microsoft sql server 2008 pack 1 file, there was no SQL Server Database File. Only configuration tools.
Someone please tell me, what should I do? Am I need to re-install it or update it to the latest? or is there anything else I should install?
You can not see mdf file in sqlserver side. The mdf file and table in used sqlexpress and accessible in visual studio too(sqlexpress was inbuilt installed with visual studio)
Eigher you can see in visual studio's server explorer (Ctrl + alt + s) or if you want in sqlserver, you open SSMS and connect sqlexpres as "yourpcname/sqlexpress"

I'm trying to set up a dataconnection with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3. My OS is Windows 8 x64 and i'm using Visual Studio 2013 (Express). The error message look like this:
Ofcourse I searched for a solution for this error. Thing's I have tried: update from SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 to SP3. And I found out that installing these two files can solve the error:
\x64\SharedManagementObjects.msi and x64\SQLSysClrTypes.msi
So I installed these two files for SQL Server 2008 , but it gives the same error. How can I fix this error?
EDIT: I fixed my problem by installing the SQL Server 2012 CLR Types file and the SQL Server 2012 Shared Managements Object file.
