How to rectify 'Index was outside the bounds of the array (Microsoft.sqlserver.Express.smo)' in SQL Server 2012?

Question

I am using SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Express.

I installed this few days back. when i try to create a new database or new table, I am getting the below error message:

Cannot show requested dialog.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Cannot show requested dialog. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SqlMgmt)

Index was outside the bounds of the array. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

I tried installing some service packs. But nothing worked.

Can you please help me out of this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

if you are using the interface of the Management Studio to create a database or a table then try writing the query by clicking New Query on the top left corner of the management studio.

for creating a new database use :

   CREATE DATABASE database_name

to use the database after creating it :

   USE database_name
