Hello,

I have the Visual Studio .NET installed under Windows XP Pro, in
my laptop.
Right now I practice C#, and I need an access to any available
database.
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.
Maybe there is another way. I have the MS Access installed in my
laptop, and I think that it comes with the Northwind database (an SQL
Server database) with it.
Is it possible for the Server Explorer to use the Northwind database
of the MS Access? If yes, how exactly?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
David
 
Hello David,

You should configure a new connection in the Server Explorer which would
employ the Microsoft Jet OLEDB provider and will point to a Northwind
database.
