Hello all,

I am new to installing Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. I have
just installed a visual studio 2005 professional edition on my Windows
XP-Home SP 2 box. I suppose, SQL Server 2005 was installed with VS 2005
installation as I saw such option while installation but when I go to
Start-->All Programs-->Microsoft SQL Server 2005 I just see three
options, namely
-SQL Server Configuration Manager
-SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
-SQL Server Surface Area configuration

now I have some experience of developing applications with SQL Server
2000, but I have no idea as to how to make SQL Server 2005 work and
what is required to start developing applications in VS 2005 and SQL
Server 2005. What else I am missing here? Do I have to install more of
a SQL server 2005, if so what I am missing here?

Any will highly be appreciated,

Much thanks,
Erland
