Vb 20005 Express - Data Sources Not Displayed

• Jonas Rosqvist

  Try " Shift+Alt+D".
  
  I tried to duplicate the problem in VB Express, but it always let me see the data in the Data Source menu window.

  All modifications to the default behavior are stored in WinFormControls.xml.  I've updated the blog entry at: http://blogs.msdn.com/smartclientdata/archive/2005/11/18/494639.aspx to reflect additional SKU's.

  Hello,
  
  i found the answer, look here:

  The solution:
  
  1) Go into tools->options and then select Windows Forms Designer -> Data UI Customization.
  
  2) Select each datatype that is in the drop down list, and deselect all controls. Do this for each and every datatype. This should bring the datasources back into view when you are looking at a form designer window.
  
  3) To be able to again drag and drop the table or field onto a form, you will need to go back into the Ui Customization dialog and select the correct form controls to associate with each datatype, and it is also a good idea to set a default for each. When I deselected all checked items, and clicked ok, and then went back in, the invalid duplicate controls were no longer listed in the dialog, so you cannot accidentally re-select the wrong controls.
  
  Thx
