C# standard eddition and SQL server standard eddition

[Guest]

When connections to SQL server using sa user login I recive this error message.

Unable to connet to database.
It is only possible to connect to SQL Server Desktop Engin databases and
Microsoft Access databases with this version of Visual Studio.

Just want to know if this is a configuraion setting or just a limitation of
the version of Visual Studio I have. Just hopeing to use the copy of SQL
server for training.

The standard version is really just a learning edition. You can connect to
SQL Server, but not using the automated tools. You will have to code around
it. Note that you also cannot create certain types of projects without
hacking.

This changes quite a bit in the 2005 products, but the {language} standard
products should be considered learning tools with limited functionality to
create Enterprise level software.
