VSTS Crashes when using the Compare Schema tool in SQL Server proj

Hi all,

I am experimenting with the new SQL Server 2005 database project type in
VSTS. It all looks pretty good so far, but when I try to compare databases
schemas, VSTS crashes. Here is the repro:

* Create an empty solution.
* Add a new SQL Server 2005 database project. (Name irrelevant, but
TestDatabase will suffice.)
* Confirm that this creates a real database in my SQL Server, called
TestDatabase_DB_{GUID}.
* Switch to Schema View in the Solution Explorer.
* Add a new table (by right-clicking), called tblTest.

Now, let’s say that I want to compare the schema to an existing database, so:

* Select the TestDatabase (top) node in the Schema View.
* Click the Compare Schema button.
* This opens a window in the main pane with a link labelled “Connect to
Databases”. Click this link.

After a delay, I get an error message saying “Microsoft Visual Studio has
encountered a problem and needs to close.” The dialog box has the option to
send an error report to Microsoft.

I’ve seen screenshots online from users that are able to use this feature,
so it must work somehow. I’d be most grateful for any suggestions. By the
way, I’ve already applied VSTS 2008 SP1.

Thanks,

Steve.
