title: Connecting To SQL Server DB Using VS2008
body: <p>I am using VS2008, and usually I'll develop my sites from the App_Data folder and then just upload the whole site to the server.</p>
  
  <p>Now I have a site and the SQL DB is running on the server already (Not in the App_Data folder , I use SQL Studio Mgement to connect to it and edit), so instead making the changes to the local DB and then again to the one on the server.  Can I just connect live to the DB on the server using Visual Studio 2008?  Then I can at least see the live data and make changes straight away if needed?</p>
  
  <p>Any tutorials on how to set this up very appreciated</p>
  
  <p>(I realise this is probably not an ideal situation, but its a personal project and only me working on it)</p>
