| Short Description | Design time connection strings will not get upgraded automatically from native ODBC to managed client when upgrading a VS6 database project. Data designers in v2.0 do not work with ODBC connections. | ||||
| Affected APIs | None | Severity | Medium | Compat Switch Available | No |
|
|
|||||
| Description | Data designers require .NET Framework data providers and do not work against native ODBC at design time. Hence a VS6 project that has a native ODBC connection, when upgraded will not be able to use the connection. It should be noted that native ODBC connections cannot be *added and used* for design time connections in v2.0 anyway. There are no run-time implications on this. All user artifacts in the project are preserved. | ||||

| User Scenario | User updgrades a database project that has a native ODBC connection reference. | ||||

| Work Around | User will have to add a connection to the project. | ||||
