This is interesting as I have been missing the data sources window for some time (I think from before installing RTM). But in my computer the "Application Data\Microsoft\Visual Studio" folder is called "Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio" (without the space between the words Visual and Studio). And there is no DataBindingSetting folder, so no WinFormControls.xml file either. What should I do?

I found the .xml file and deleted it. However, I am still unable to get my datasources window to populate!!!

Any ideas?

I had the same problem and deleting the xml file did not fix the problem.
I got my Data Sources back after excluding a dataset which was upgraded from VS2003. This dataset was for storing in-memory data (without table adapters and sql server). Maybe that's why it messed up Data Sources.

Hope this helps.
