OleDb in C# Express?

Expand Post »

I can't seem to get OleDb controls to show up in C# Express. Are they excluded for some reason? I have made sure they are selected in the "Choose Toolbox items..." dialog, where they are listed, but they don't appear anywhere on the toolbar.

I tried to add them to my project References list, but the namespaces is not exposed in that dialog either. The interesting part is that I can go ahead an use them in code so long as I add "using.System.Data.OleDb". Using them in code alone is a pain.

Does anyone know how to get them to the toolbar?

Re: OleDb in C# Express?

yep. I think that you're right there. I'm pretty sure the data tools in the IDE are removed from the Express Edition...

But hey on the bright side-- at least you're getting really familiar with those controls, right?

No, they are there, but they are in the Common Controls section instead of the data section. And, they seem to work just fine.
