    Is there any way to work around this if I need to connect to a sql server database from my c# form My Visual Studio license has been ordered but I need to do this soon. I have c# express and sql server express on my pc now.

    Thanks,

    Igor

    The issue here is that Visual C# Express data designers only allow you to connect to local (and by that I mean filesystem) databases. To verify that it isn't a designer issue, right click in solution explorer, select Add New Item... and add a SQL Server Express database.

    Hope this helps,
