    Visual Studio 2008 Error Message

    I have a fresh install of VS2008, and when I drag a data grid on and
    try and
    bind it (create a new connection) I get an error.
    If I connect to a database in the database window and then try and
    drag a
    table into a dataset, I get the same error.
    The error is: "Some Update Commands Could not be generated
    automatically.
    The database returned the following error: Failed to find or load
    the .NET
    Data Provider"

    Any ideas? It happens with an SqlConnection (MS SQL 2005) and an
    Access
    connection. Others in my office can do it fine.


    I reformatted my PC last week because of a borked .NET installation,
    and now
    this. It's doing my nut.


    Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated.

      I have managed to fix this problem. Here is the solution for anyone
      else who may get it.

      I also have another IDE on my system, CodeGear (Formally Borland
      Delphi) RAD Studio.
      I don't use any of the Borland database stuff, so I chose not to
      install the providers when installing RAD Studio.

      However it still added an entry to <DbProviderFact oriesin my
      machine.config.
      So I commented out the line
      "<add name="AdoDbx Data Provider"
      invariant="Borl and.Data.AdoDbx Client" description=".N et Framework Data
      Provider for dbExpress Drivers"
      type="Borland.D ata.TAdoDbxProv iderFactory, Borland.Data.Ad oDbxClient,
      Version=11.0.50 00.0, Culture=neutral ,
      PublicKeyToken= 91d62ebb5b0d1b1 b"/"

      I am guessing that it could not be found, and this was cuusing all
      other providers to have an error. With this commented out, Data Grids
      now work (and bind automatically) without any error messages.

      I'd be interested to know who's at fault here. Rad Studio for the
      entry, or Visual Studio for not recovering from this entry.

      Regards
