  Having some SQL query windows open, VAX shows in the OFiW dialog pretty weird entries (like "//DataExplorer/Query0", or "mssql://machine\\someweirdchars\\...") Those entries do not open anything when selected.
  Also showing up are entries which are in the %temp% folder: those are entries which have appended "[from metadata]" are are class definition files for the .Net classes (e.g.: C:\\temp\\3348$System.Data.dll$v2.0.50727\\System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.cs) |

  VA does look in the temp dir because VS sometimes put generated header files there.
  this explains why VA is watching the %temp% directory, but not why there were cs files in there. |

                Posted - Oct 10 2006 : 5:10:34 PM  Definitely no idea what might have triggered the %TEMP% files, besides using the classes shown. |

  I was not aware you could do that with the IDE.  I can reproduce the inactive entires for the SQL connections in the OFIW dialog, but so far no sing of any entries in the %temp% folder.
  Do you have any idea what you may have been doing to trigger those entries?

  As a side note I see that this is a close relative of the Microsoft SQL server interface program, which also insists on re-writing my SQL every time I execute a query   |

                Posted - Sep 02 2006 : 10:05:39 AM  i am not familiar with SQL query windows in the IDE.  using VS2005 professional the closest i can find was:
  IDE tools menu -> connect to database -> Microsoft access database file
  using this i selected the file "C:\\Inetpub\\iissamples\\sdk\\asp\\database\\Authors.mdb" and was able to connect, but so far i am not finding anything that looks like a SQL query window.  am i overlooking something obvious?  or is this likely to be a feature that only exists in VS2005 team edition? |
