(I am very familiar with MySQL but not SQL Server).

On my dev machine is installed:

  • SQL Server Express 2008 (Windows Authentication)
  • SQL Server Management Studio
  • Visual Studio 2010 (with ASP .NET MVC 3)

The database that was created using the studio now needs to be added to a MVC project.

Inside VS2010 I selected the 'Entity Data Model Wizard' and am able to browse for my database file. Once the database file is selected I get a 'You don't have permission to open this file' error message.

Is Visual Studio trying to use another user type other than Window authentication?
How do I give permission to that user?
