Hi Folks

I am an sysadmin on my laptop to my SQL2005 default instance but when I try to use the Database Connection Wizard, the Database droplist is disabled and only shows Strataframe as the database. I also tried this with the SA account without success.  How can I get this list enabled?

The menu item in Visual Studio is STRICTLY for setting a connection the StrataFrame database and is used to house BO Mappings, Role-Based Security projects, DDT projects, etc.  The connection for your application will be defined in the AppMain.vb or program.cs file in the SetDatabases() method.  I recommend looking at the docs on this and even look at the samples as they all use the Connection String Manager and call SetConnections().  If you are going to setup the connection string yourself, then look in the docs for the DataSources collection and manually specify the connection yourself.

Thanks for clarifying that. I have been setting connections in code and that works fine. For some reason I got the notion that the dialog might be there for a more general purpose but I understand now that it is not.
