Visual Studio 2005 DataControls

[Henry Jones]

I just installed Visual Studio 2005 and started a Visual Basic Windows
project. I wanted to drag a SQL Connection and Data Adapter onto the form.
They don't show up in the Toolbox. Am I missing something? (other than
grey matter!)

Hi, did you check the Data tab on the toolbox?

I just installed Visual Studio 2005 and started a Visual Basic Windows
project. I wanted to drag a SQL Connection and Data Adapter onto the form.
They don't show up in the Toolbox. Am I missing something? (other than
grey matter!)

The only items that appear on the Data tab on the toolbox are: DataSet,
DataGridView, BindingSource, BindingNavigator, and ReportView. I don't know
where SQL Connection and Data Adapter are.

I was looking around and clicked on the menu item Tools, the Toolbox Items,
and under the tab .NET Framework Components, found the SQLCommand,
SQLCommandBuilder, SQLConnection, SQLDataAdapter UNCHECKED. I thought these
would be checked by default but who knows. Anyway, I checked them and they
now show on the toolbox, but NOT under DATA, but under "All Windows Forms".
Dunno why this happens but at least they are there.
