If you try to use the Visual Database Tools in Visual Basic .NET Standard Edition to connect to a data source other than a Microsoft Access data source, a Microsoft Jet data source, or a Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) data source (for example, Microsoft SQL Server), you receive the following error message: It is only possible to connect to SQL Server Desktop Engine databases and Access databases with this version. This error message is misleading. You can use Microsoft ADO.NET code in Visual Basic .NET to connect to other data sources. The limitation that is described in this error message applies only to the Visual Database Tools in this edition.
