The full error I am getting is:

   An error occurred while creating a new DataLayer for the business object.

   The DataSourceKey [XXX] is not defined.



This error is generated on the call to:

SFSPreferencesBO.RetrieveSecurityPreferences()



Everything works fine* when I don't add a named datasourcekey but leave the default "" :

SecurityBasics.SecurityDataSourceKey = "XXX"



I tried adding this but it didnt help:

DataLayer.DataSources.Add(New SqlDataSourceItem("XXX", "Data Source=IPADDRESS\SQLNAME;Initial Catalog=DBNAME;Integrated Security=True;Persist Security Info=False;Asynchronous Processing=True"))



I have a security project with a security key that matches.



I have my security tables in the same database as my application files, added via the DDT and deployed to the SQL Server.



I am sure I am doing something dumb, as this is the first chance i have had to implement the security module.

* when I left the SecurityDataSourceKey = "", I could only see the users within my app, when I called up the SecurityDialog from within VS, I saw no users.
