New Connection button causes Choose Data Source to shut down
Date: 12/17/08
(C Sharp) Keywords: database
Okay, this is odd. Visual C# 2008 Express Edition on XPSP3.
I create a new form and drag a DataGridView onto it. Expand the little arrow to get the DataGridViewTasks dialog. Expand "Choose data source." One data source I have already created in this project is listed. But I need another one, so I click "Add Project Data Source...". Select "Database" from Choose Data Source Type and hit Next. Up comes the Choose Your Data Connection dialog box. The only data connection listed is Northwind.sdf (which is not the data connection I've already created and that is showing in the previous box). I click the "New Connection..." button and instead of getting the New Connection dialog, the Data Source Configuration Wizard closes and I'm back out at the DataGridViewTasks dialog.
This started happening last night. Before that, I was able to create data sources in this project without a problem. I have rebooted the computer multiple times since it started with no effect at all.
Anyone seen anything like this before? Thanks.
