repost: Registering Provider

[Andrzej Kaczmarczyk]

Sahil,

Now you got me *puzzled*

I've written already:
""
but I can also access it with simplier way:
Data -> Add New DataSource -> Next -> DataBase -> Next -> New Connection

all in Windows XP SP2, Visual Studio 2005 Pro Beta 2 (feb ctp), Visual C#,
Windows Forms Application, but I believe the same apply for any VS 2005,
console, asp or any other type of application in all languages

Is it what you asked for?

Sorry I got tied up yesterday and couldn't get back to this until today
morning

Anyway, I replied on the last thread, but here is my reply again -

--------------------

Okay - that I am not quite sure of.

I did try investigating a bit, I used filemon and regmon to try and see
where the heck does that dialog get populated from. My best guess is, it
comes from some precompiled dll within the VStudio binaries, and maybe using
reflection it populates that list - but really - that is just my
guess/detective work.

Sorry but this is a softie question. I can raise it to Microsoft folks, do
you
want me to?

Thanks for your time, I appreciate

I checked the machine.config and seems like that was good guess, there are
some of the providers mentioned in the dialog.

If you'd be so kind, I don't even know where to ask else this list.

Allright, I just did. I don't control how and when they reply - they are
busy just like you and me, but historically their responses have always been
good. I will reply to this thread when I hear back (or someone might come
and reply here directly).
