creating db connection by dragging from server explorer

why can i not drag a database node to the designer to create a new
connection (as per my literature suggests). I vaguely remember being able to
do this in Vis Studio 6.

I can create a connection object every other way ...namely
1. right clicking Data Connection node .......
2. draging connection object from toolbox
3. instanciating in code.

Its not a big deal -just would like to know what I am doing wrong???

cheers.

do not ask me how, but it seems to be working now. I have no idea how this
started working. I would have said that I must have been doing something
wrong -but I dont know what it was!

Thanks for all the replies *ahem*
