I just had a look at the database features in the express editions. What sort of grid are you guys using? The one in 2003 appeared to be a lot more streamlined!!!!!

It's a slightly customized version of the .Net client grid.

For result pane -- it is the DataGridView(a.k.a .Net client grid) which is shipped in VS2005 (Yes, we eat our own dogfood.)

For detail look at = "http://www.windowsforms.net/WhidbeyFeatures/default.aspx?PageID=2&ItemID=13&Cat=Controls&tabindex=4

For Critria pane -- we are using the SQL Grid which shipped with Yukon (This is another story)

Database diagram

Ming,

VS2005 needs the database diagram.

On the database diagram in VS 6.0, you could copy and paste multilple db columns from table to table. I used this feature extensively and dream of the day it is back.

You can still do that without database diagram.
Database diagram is just a lot of Table Designer on a Diagram Surface.

If this is the only function you want to do,
Here is how you can do it on the Table designer.

1. Open the Source Table in Table designer.
2. Select the row by click on row header.To multiple select, you select click on the row header and drag up/dow. Or use shift or control to select multiple row.
3. Copy those rows by Context Menu->Copy or Control -C
4. Open the Target Table in the table designer, select the new row by clicking on the row header. Then Paste (either by context menu or Ctrl-V)

I just installed beta version of VisualStudio 2005. I could not find the database diagrammer as the documentation states.

Do I need to install patches to get this feature installed with .Net 2005 version?

Someone should be beaten and flogged for cutting database diagrams from the Yukon/Whidbey toolset.
