I have concerns about the quality of the VS2005 and SQL Server 2005 bits. Here are the steps to repro a bug that many people will find annoying. This bug *did not* exist in any build post beta2, which makes it a regression.
------
1: create a connection to a sql database in the server explorer
2: right click on a table and select ‘Show Table Data’
3: click the command bar button to ‘Show Criteria Pane” – This should give you one row with a * for the column.
4: via the drop down list select a column – This will create an alias for the column Expr1
5: change the sort on the new column selection to ascending
6: uncheck the output from the column
7: attempt to run query with error – “invalid column name expr1”
