I just installed VS 08 on a new machine, and when I try to reconfigure a dataset, I get this: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Types, Version=10.0.0.0. We're using SQL Server 2005. Thanks for any help you can give...

Hi Robert,

Based on my understanding, I think the problem is that the new installed Visual Studio 2008 may break some assemblies of Sql Server 2005. You need to check whether the “Microsoft.SqlServer.Types�assemble is located in the correct place. The path of this assemble in my computer is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.dll� The path of the assemble in your computer may be a little different.

If you couldn’t find the assemble, I think you need to reinstall the Sql Server 2005. Another way is to download the dll and locate it in the correct place.

If you could find it, you need to add that as a reference to your project.

Let me know if this helps.
