Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals 'The selected database is not supported' Error

I tried to 'Import Database Schema..' from a SQL 2005 project, I added a new connection.

When I clicked on OK, I got the following error. 'The selected database is not supported.'
(I was connecting to a standard SQL 2005 database...nothing special about it)

I asked our Microsoft contact; James Snape.

He suggested trying to manually add a new database connection from the Server Explorer. This didn't work!! But I did get a different error, 'Key not valid for use in specified state.'.

The solution was: deleted all the Data Connections I had, then add a new one.

Programmer Personality Type

Try this small quiz to work out your programmer personality type.

Mine is....

DHTB

You're a Doer.
You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better. After all, time is money.

You like coding at a High level.
The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs in the same way.

You work best in a Team.
A good group is better than the sum of it's parts. The only thing better than a genius programmer is a cohesive group of genius programmers.

You are a liBeral programmer.
Programming is a complex task and you should use white space and comments as freely as possible to help simplify the task. We're not writing on paper anymore so we can take up as much room as we need.
