I wanted to develop a C# application oriented software using SQL Server 2012 in Visual Studio 2012. But if I install the software on another computer with out installing SQL Server 2012 database, how will this software work and access the data?
Is there any method and function or namespace that can provide the default storage space to store the data after the software is installed on a system?
If you develop an application that use Sql Server 2012 as storage for your data then you need to install it in a way or another. There are numerous versions of Sql Server, like Sql Server Express and LocalDB. In every case you need the bits that supports your coding calls.
This magazine article summarizes relevant infos on the various version of Sql Server
I suppose that the right product for you is Sql Server LocalDB. A version of Sql Server that could be distributed easily with your application setup and doesn't require a complex installation procedure.
However, if you don't foresee the need to escalate you application to a full Client-Server model and you need only a local storage for a single user, you could choose a single file database like Sql Server Compact Edition or SQLite or even MS Access.

I have been given a laptop running on Windows 10 (this is my first experience of windows 10) and SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition is installed. How can I determine what components are installed with the SQL Server please? I need to know if the Report Builder or Reporting Services tools are setup. If not can they easily be added?
Found that in the SQL Server installation centre there is a component to show all installed components.

I'm trying to add a Project Data Source in a GridView in DevExpress.
I click on the little arrow on the above right of the Gridview. I choose 'Add project Data Source'.
Then I choose, a Data Type source => DATABASE.
Then, 'Database model' =>DATASET.
Then, for 'Data connection' I choose MS SQL Server.
I then choose the server and I get a pop-up windows that says:
This server version is not supported. You must have SQL Server 2005 or later.
Now, I've confirmed that the server I'm trying to connect to has Microsoft SQL Server 2000 installed on it.
I know that some people got that pop-up window when trying to use Microsoft SQL Server 2008. It was apparently a Visual Studio issue.
I just want to confirm that this message that I'm getting is legit. (It would seem right, seeing, as I
mentionned earlier, I have Microsoft SQL Server 2000 installed. ) For some reason, I still
think it's weird that I'm getting this message. I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 by the way. Can anybody confirm this.
I do not think that this issue is related to DevExpress control. It is common issue with visual studio when you SQL Server that Visual studio IDE does not support or missing SQL Server Data Objects.
I suggest you to check below link for your confirmation that SQL Server is not supported in newer IDE directly.
This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later.
SQL Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2010
This Server Version is not supported. You must have SQL 2005 or later (VS2010 Problem)
Some how you can use quick fix to connect with the data base and write code to do other operations.

Hope this help you understand the real issue behind this.
So I have a suite of SSIS packages that we created using Visual Studio 2008 and are currently deployed on a SQL Server 2008R2 instance. However, I would like to upgrade these to 2012 via SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012 which is easy enough, however, the company that I work for does not have any plans to upgrade the SQL Server to 2012 any time soon. So is there a way to create SSIS packages using SSIS 2012 and deploy them to a SQL Server 2008R2 instance while maintaining all of the new features of the SSIS 2012 package. IE Project Connection Managers and Package Parameters, etc...
Unfortunately, no. The Integration Services Service, the engine that which makes the package go, would have to be installed on the machine to be able to interpret/run them. Furthermore, unless you planned on running the packages from their .ispac containers, you wouldn't be able to take advantage of the rest of the "goodies" like the Environments, at least not without writing some ugly exec calls.
Also, if you think about slipping the IS services on that box, it is my understanding that's a SQL Server license consumed and given the ugliness that is the new per core licensing model on 2012, I wouldn't be happy writing that cheque. Not saying you'd do that, just a headache I saw at a client site when the auditors stopped by.
I ve done some research and i can't seem to find anything similar to this.
I have an SQL Database from Windows Azure with several tables. I can log in just fine and view all the table data of all tables, except from a specific table.
When I click on the "Data" section of that specific table, my screen just goes completely blank and then I can't do nothing about it, apart from starting over. Any thoughts on this ?
(I have the latest version of Silverlight installed and I ve tried with Chrome,Firefox and Opera)
Thanks
You can use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2008 R2 for browse or what ever the task you have to do with SQL azure database as a alternative for your way of method.
Using SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 to Manage SQL Azure sample screen is as below.

UPDATE
If you're going to use express edition, then you have to use SQL 2012 express with Win 8.
Check this out SQL Express Edition 2012
I hope this will help to you.

An useful answer may be is to make a batch file with all the required software and database. When you start the batch, all the application will install.
