    Resolved [RESOLVED] Can I get rid of SQL Express and use a full SQL Server in VS2008?

    Hi,

    I have a development server on my network which has a full copy of SQL Server 2005 running on it.

    Is it possible to configure Visual Studio 2008 on my desktop PC to use SQL Server 2005 on my development server instead of the SQL Server Express edition that comes with Visual Studio and still have all the integrated database functionality that the VS IDE provides?

    It just seems unnecessary to have the Express instance of SQL Server installed when I already have a development server available.

    Thanks.
