Stupid default setting in SQL Server 2008...

I've created a table in SQL server 2008, then decided to change one of the column size from varchar(10) to varchar(50). When I try to save the changes I'm getting the error below:

"Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can't be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created."

Solution:
In Management Studio, go to Tools -> Options then go to the Designer Page and uncheck "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation".

Connecting SQL Server 2008 from VS 2005 server explorer...

You need to install Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005. The installer can be obtain from here.

Then install Visual Studio 2005 Update for SQL Server 2008 support.

Done.
