Hi, I just installed VS 2005 team suite and was unable to access the Northwind database through add a connection wizard. The message I got when attempting to connect to it through Jet or ODBC was Unable to add data connection. Could not load type Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.InterOp.IVsProjectDataConnection from assembly MicrosoftVisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0, Version=8.0.0.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken= etc.' I did not set up admin rights to the Northwind database and so erased the Admin as user and left the password field blank. I was able to succeed in a test connection.
Does anyone know what this means or how I can work around this Was the install somehow corrupted Do I just need to do it in code or does this message suggest that that might not work also. I'm new to assemblies.
Thanks to all in advance!
Sincerely, Phil Berkhof
