Hello, i have for the last 5 months been writing some software using C# 2010 EE, after a meeting at work, our IT department have said they would not support C# as no one in the dept is familiar with it, long story, dont ask. Short version is i have been asked to rewrite said software in C++ EE (which they do understand). OK Fine, i will muddle through either, doesnt bother me but today i have spent 3 hours trying to set up a database conecction but have no 'Add Data Source' facility in C++ EE. My questions are quite simply 'Where is it?' and 'how do i?' add a data source! Please Help.

I don't think there is one, you need a commercial version of Visual Studio as described here[^].

According to this thread visual studio 2010 has no this feature for developers add datasource to a C++[^]
And there are people that were complaining about this before: Cannot add data source in C++/CLI Winforms Project[^]
There never was such a feature for native C++ projects. Thus, from C++ project you have to connect to database in some conventional way, i.e. using ADO (ADO.NET for C++/CLI) or ODBC.
