OleDbDataAdapter control missing

[homeguard]

I was trying to go through this tutorial on how to connect access dbs with vb.net apps but when it says got to data and drag and drop my OleDbDataAdapter control it isnt on the data list of controls.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821765/

i got to part 3 of "Retrieve data from the Access database by using the OleDbDataAdapter class"

Anyone know what happened here? i tried google but couldnt figure anything out with it.

I'm guessing, but are you using Visual Studio 2005? At the bottom of the article it states:

APPLIES TO
• Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2003 Standard Edition
• Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2002 Standard Edition

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821763/en-us

might be a good reference for VS 2005.

Tools > Choose Toolbox Items..
check required controls there.
They are under "System.Data.OleDb" Namespace.

Hi,
I have exactly this problem. Breaking my head trying to figure it out. All the turorials on the web use features from the visual - droppable - dataAdaptor. Yes , I am using VisualStudio 2005. I came across somewhere that in that case, you are supposed to drag and drop a tbale to the form. That did not work for me.
Did you find a solution? Help much appreciated.
Thanks

try this at a class level:

Imports System.Data.OleDb

Yup, I have been implementing it by coding, just cannot use the visual controls. So anyone else seen this behaviour?
