Hi,
I am making the leap from VS2003 to 2005.  In the 03 version, I could open a
connection to a SQL 2000 database and drag a stored procedure to the form
designer and I would have created for me a sqlcommand and sqlconnection
object.  In VS2005, when I drop a stored procedure onto the designer, I get a
drag-drop cursor, but no object appears on Mouse-Up.  What I now have to do
is add a SQLCommand object from the toolbar, drop this onto the designer, set
its connection, indicate that it is a stored procedure.  After all of this, I
am able to use a VERY SMALL drop down to choose which stored procedure or
function to use.  After choosing my sproc, the parameters collection is NOT
populated.  To get that to happen, I have to rename the sproc with the prefix
dbo.  I am then asked to regenerate the parameters, which works.

I can't imagine that this behavior of the IDE is by design.  Have I got
something in my environment that is not right?  When I originally installed
VS2005, I had the release version of SQL Server 2005 on the box.  I then
uninstalled SQL 2005, and installed SQL 2000 in its place.  Could this be the
problem?

Thanks.
