vb.net standard connect to sql server developer edition

[Guest]

When I try to connect to an SQL Server developer edition database using
server explorer in vb.net standard I get the following message:

Unable to connect to database. It is only possible to connect to SQL Server
Desktop Engine databases ..with this version of Visual Studio

Is there any way around this. I would like Vb.net to talk to sql sever.
maybe an upgrade is needed?

Thanks,

Mike G

Mike,

You cannot use that feature in VBNet standard, however you can use databases
as probably everybody who is a little bit expiriences does always by code.
(You can even better directly build your seperated data Classes build on
your "bussiness" needs)

You need for that the classes in System.Data.SQLclient namespace. Where I
would as I was you focus me first on the SqlConnection, SqlCommand,
SqlDataAdapter, SqlDataset, SqlDataview, SqlDataTable. The connections
strings for this class are named in at those classes.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Cor,

Thanks for the help. I am new to the product, and figured that their had to
be some way to connect to SQL. I will check out the classes discussed.
