Ok, I made my database connection.

I went to Server Explorer tab in my Visual Studio 2005's project, I right-clicked the 'Data Connections' and select 'Create New SQL Server Database...' blah blah blah... Made my connections to Employees.mdf.

When I click on the [+] and it expands, it break downs to:
Database Diagram
Tables
Views
Stored Procedures
Functions
Synonyms
Types
Assemblies


Anywhere I can get more help regarding these list of... functions? You know, nice explainations, not like those in MSDN, a little bit too complex for me to understand at my stage. Please help.

for connection string, you can visit www.connectionstring.com.
for the list of the item you mentioned, let me briefly go through it as per my understanding

DB Diagram
- to design the system logical diagram
Tables
- to creat tables in DB to hold data
Views
- something like a table which you predefined for better serach performance
Stored Procedures
- consists of compiled T-SQL for better performance, security implementation etc.
Funcsionts
- user defined functions
Synonyms
- <no idea>
Types
- user can always define own types other than system defined types
Assemblies
- self defined component which is compiled and ready to be used

pls correct me for anything thats wrong
