Hi All,

I want to connect with database but when I clicked on add connection the message-box shows -
"Unable to add data connection. The IVs data connection dialog could not be intialize".

Please help me to add data connection.

I am using SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.

I resolve this issue in VS 2008, U can do changes as per your version.

Close visual studio IDE and open the windows registry editor and navigate to

'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0'; and change it to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0Bak' (What ever you want).
