Answer 1

The MDF database in your project is version 655, which indicates it was created on SQL Server 2008. The server you connect to only accepts version 612, which indicates is a SQL Server 2005. A database created on SQL Server 2008 cannot be downgraded to SQL Server 2005. You must make sure you develop your database for the correct target server version. Now you have to either upgrade your deployment site to SQL Server 2008, or copy all the content of your SQL Server 2008 database into a new SQL Server 2005 database.
