Hello,
I have the Visual Studio .NET installed under Windows XP Pro, in
my laptop.
Right now I learn C#, and I need an access to any available
database, just for practice.
It seems that I can use the Server Explorer (built-in in the Visual
Studio .NET), but the problem is that the Server Explorer can not find
any database.
I have the MS Access installed in my laptop, and I think that it comes
with a built-in Northwind database (an SQL Server database).
My idea was to use the Server Explorer to connect to the Northwind
database
of the MS Access. I have been adviced to configure a new connection in
the Server Explorer which would employ the Microsoft Jet OLEDB
provider
and will point to a Northwind database.
Yet, I don't know how to do it and how to locate the Nortwind database
in the hard disk.
Can anybody help me with a detailed explanation on this matter? It
will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
David

If you haven't done so already, you should download and install the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000). I'm pretty sure that it installs a sample Northwind database. http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/do...s/download.asp
