I am currently going through an MCAD/MCSD training guide for Exam#
70-316. It is a great book but it shows it's age with certain subjects.
The chapter on databinding is one of these. This somewhat wordy
introduction is because I actually have 2 questions. The first one
concerns SQL. My training guide has me bringing up the Northwind sample
DB in the server explorer and it then tells me to drag and drop one of
the tables onto a form that I crafted. The idea behind this exercise
being to eventually databind this table to a gridview control on the
form. I cannot seem to drag and drop the required table anywhere as the
cursor turns into the NOT symbol and stays that way until I release the
MB. I am assuming that this is because either SQL 2005 or .NET 2005 no
longer allows 'drag and drop' although since I am a complete beginner
at SQL I could be quite mistaken. So my first question is how do I get
'drag and drop' to work in the .NET 2005 server explorer or what is the
alternative if things are done differently now.

For my second question I would like to know if there is another
training guide available that was written for use with .NET 2005 that
is recommended for beginners. I have done some research on this but the
guide that I am using keeps popping up and I haven't managed to
identify a suitable replacement.

Thank you for your consideration.
