Hi, I have this problem. In visual studio 2008, the datas source configuration wizard show me only 2 (entity and linq) of the datasource should be there. Do you know a solution to fix that?

Hi sleek3,

I was curious if you ever found an easy solution for this.  I have the same problem on one of my three PCs (the other two show all possible data source types).

Thanks.

No solution. It is the first time i didn't find out anything on the net.!!!!!

Look at the screen shoot

I tried a few options to try to resolve this issue this weekend, unfortunately none of them worked, I still only see Entity and Linq data sources as options.

• First I tried repairing VS2008, no change
• Then I tried reinstalling VS 2008 SP1, no change
• Finally I tried uninstalling and reinstalling VS 2008, then SP1.  I didn't really want to have try this, but I figured I'd spend 60 - 90 minutes and be done.  The interesting part here is that after reinstalling VS 2008, but not SP1, I did a test to see what I would and I got the same result, only Entity and Linq data sources as options.  I also reinstalled SP1 again with no change.

Here is what fixed it for me.

In my toolbox I had 2 data tabs after installing Microsofts Charting Tool. I moved the items from one data tab to the other and now all datasources show in the datasource configuration wizard

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did the same thing and that fixed it for me as well.

 Thanks for your Reply ... I was getting nutts.

I didnt move them to the Data charting what i did i renamed the tab Data for the charts to Data Charts and all were shown.

Seems the datasources are read from Tab Data.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for your great tip! You saved my day.
