You can download sql Server management studio for your visual studio 2010 by using the url given. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=08e52ac2-1d62-45f6-9a4a-4b76a8564a2b follow these quick steps to creating a database from within VS2010 In VS2010 ensure you can see the 'Server Explorer' toolbar (Ctrl+Alt+S should toggle it if you can't see it) With your Web Site Solution open R-Click in the Server Explorer toolbox where it says Data Conenctions and choose 'Create New SQL Server Database' This should bring up a dialogue asking for your server name and login details. A default installation of SQL Server 2008 Express will have Windows Authentication so simple click the drop down for the server name and hopefully you will find just one entry there for your local SQL Server Enter a name for your new database and press OK Once done in Server Explorer you should have a new node under 'Data Connections' with the name of you SQL Server followed by the name of your new database. You can now navigate through tables views stored procedures etc and simply r-click and 'Add New ###' as required.
