SQL Server 2005 express connection with Visual Web Developer 2008 express

Ok so I had first downloaded SQL Server Express 2008 and Wed Developer Express 2008, and I could not integrate the two together. Was getting error messages that were wasking for the correct version of SQL Server 2005, so....

I uninstalled SQL Server Express 2008, and installed SQL Server Express 2005.

Now I open the Visual Web Developer and tried to add an item (SQL Database) to the App_Data folder in a web site project, and now I am getting the below error.

"generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances."

Ok so I know I can create databases, and tables in the SMS Express, however I have a bunch of training material that is based on the above approach. SO can someone please help me with the above error please??? Thanks very much.....

also should note t开发者_如何学JAVAhat the above are installed on my home computer for learning purposes.

The following asp.net forum post has a possible solution:

You have to run the following query

sp_configure 'user instances enabled', 1; RECONFIGURE

This can be done in SMS express.
