.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / General / March 2008DSN-less connection
I don't know if this is the proper place to post this, but I don't see any other group that is appropriate. I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express addition. I would like data source controls to read the tables without a dsn. Is that possible and if so could someone point me to a resource which explains how? Thank you and God Bless, Mark A. Sam Mark A.

I would like data source controls to read the tables "the tables" ?! which tables ? do you mean some local or remote tables ? provided by a SQL express engine or another kind of server ? > without a dsn.

Sylvain. Sylvain, Sorry I meant remote tables. I have a working website based on a hosted server and want to connect directly to them, but not use a dsn. Working locally with Sql Express isn't an option, becuase I don't want to mess with trying to copy the data to my machine. SQL Server isn't data transfer friendly, at least Enterprise manager isn't. I guess my question is can I specify a remote connection as the datasource through the Add Connection wizard? God Bless, Mark > Mark A.

I see that I can set one up locally and remotely.
