I recently installed Microsoft SQL Server 2012 in my dev machine. I am ujsing Visual Studio 2010 with SP1.

After installing SQL Server 2012 I am no longer able to work with project local MDF files, I get the message 

This server version is not supported. only servers up to microsoft sql server 
2008 are supported" when i try to work with them.

This problem has been reported for earlier versins ov SQL / Visual Studio but I have not found a way to fix this for SQL 2012. Does anyone have a fix or workaround?

since the Visual Studio 2010 was released prior to SQL Server 2012 you cannot work with local MDF files or any design time stuffs involving the sql server.

However you can work with SQL Server 2012 by establishing sql connection in code.
