Install Developer Edition & Express?

Hi: I have installed SQL 2005 Developer Edition and VS 2005. Do I need to also install SQL 2005 Express edition too?

My version of VS2005 is proffesional. I cannot seem to find SQL 2005 Developer Edition in the Server Explorer of VS2005. So I am wondering if I need to install SQL 2005 Express. Before I had SQL 2000 and MSDE installed with VS2003 and there was no problem.

Thanks

no need to install express.|||

So I do not need to install express edition. Okay. So why can I not see it using Visual Studio 2005 Server Explorer?

Thanks for your speedy reply.

do you dee 'data connections' ?

right click and select 'add connection' follow the wizard

Yes that works. But why can I not see it under the Servers node? In VS2003 I have no problem and it appears under the Servers node.

It may be a problem with my install of VS2005 because the Help is not working properly also.

Thanks

Thanks Blair. I will ask MS support when I am talking to them about my help files. I will post the anwser when I find it.

Thanks again for your responses.
