Web Site Administration Tool hangs
My Web Site Administration Tool hangs. This is VS 2008. I can click on "ASP.NET configuration" menu item in VS, but once I'm in the tools, clicking anywhere just hangs. THis worked for me just a day ago, now it does not. I re-installed VS 2008, but that did not help.
Any ideas?

check event log if you are getting any errors.
Also check if you are running VS as "Administrator"

What event log? And how do I check to see if I am running VS as admin? I just double click the icon on my desktop as always. I see where I can run it as Admin, but the account I am logged in as is in the Admin group.

there were events, but I delete all and then tried it again to see if an event was generated. None were generated.
Yes, I need a SQL DB. And that's the root of the problem, I believe. As I said, VS Admin Tool was working yesterday, and then I installed SQL Server 2008 Express - and that did me in. I uninstalled SQL Server 2008 Express and then reinstalled Visual Studio 2008., but I still have the problem.
So, I need some version of SQL Server installed locally?

OK. I think I'm making progress understanding.
When you I am using an external server, external to what? VS? Does VS come with some built-in SQL Server engine that normally works with the Web Site Administration Tool?
And now that I installed SQL Server Express, I need to configure my project accordingly?

Thanks. The admin tool no longer hangs.

I think somewhere I am not configured correctly, and that the data store cannot be accessed.
