Data form wizard in VS.NET 2005

[Guest]

I've located instruction as to how to add the Data Form Wizard into a VB.NET
2005 project at this location.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...y/en-us/vsintro7/html/vburfdataformwizard.asp

However no matter how hard I look I can't locate it.

Any ideas what is wrong or is the documentation in error and this feature
has been removed from VS.NET 2005

Bob,

I don't know however if it is for windowforms, than this is at least a good
alternative (as it is not better)

Have a look at this simple Faq on our website.

I hope this helps,

That link doesn't address the Data Form Wizard issue. I'm looking for the
wizard that creates a Data Form, links to the source, binds the fields and
writes the code. This was available in VB6 and Vb.NET 2003. The link I
posted implies it is also available in VB.NET 2005 but I can't find it. Is
there a reference I need to set or an Add-in that needs to be included some
how?

Did you try what I have showed you. This is much better than the VB6
version, which was by the way much better than the Data Form Wizard, which
they had in my idea not for nothing hidded as it was.

What I have showed you is even as well less work.

I haven't had the chance yet. I'll do that this evening and let you know if
it does what I need. All I really need is some code to insert images (.jpg
files) into SQL 2005 Express. The other data access in and out is no problem
it is the images that I want a hint or some help coding. I have someone
working on it and they will solve the problem no doubt. I was just hoping to
have something similar for Windows Forms like the Data Form Wizard. I'll
give that link a try this evening and I'll let you know.

I tried it last night. It does offer some help but for images it doesn't
offer the type of help I was hoping for. It is probably true that the Data
Form Wizard would have done the same thing code wise. What I was hoping for
was some simply way to test image inserts into the SQL 2005 Express database.
It looks like with the code help that your method offered I'll just have to
code a test app to test the image inserts and selects.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Gotdotnet hasn't even awaken to
even respond to my earlier question regarding the same topic. It's weird
that MS says in the online documentation that this wizard is available in
VS2005 yet all indications are to the contrary.

Bob,

In my idea with this sample on our website and that what you already have,
you are shorter to your goal.
