Jeff:
Like Cor mentions, this is true Only if you want to use the visual tools.
Declare a Connection Dim cn as New
SqlConnection("YourconnectionStringhere"), call cn.Open and you'll be fine.
You can do whatever you want, you just can't use the visual tools (which can
be a bummer b/c the DataAdapter Configuration wizard is a real help.
Another thing....you can declare a connection, then select dynamic
properties and let it build the .config file for you (if it's all the same,
just use the key it suggests). once you fill in the connection string
value, you can reference this connection from everywhere within your project
which may make things easier.
HTH,
Bill

I am running VB.Net Standard Edition - can't create a solution or project
(or anything else for that matter) that uses SQLServer, except for the
Desktop Edition. I get an error message stating as such (or Access)..
can't locate any easy to read charts on MSDN that would point me to the right
version to obtain.
