I wonder when a whole lot of people have a problem, like when you try to add a Data Source in Visual Studio.NET and you get the descriptive error message “Error Enumerating Data Server” and there are 70 posts with this phrase on the USENET, but not ONE useful answer, is it really a problem?

There must be a solution to this problem that doesn’t involve some of the current helpful suggestions like:

·         Uh, wow, ya, I paved my box when this happened.

·         Dude, reinstall.

·         Ya, that happened to me, but now I just avoid that place in VS.NET anymore.

·         Have you tried reinstalling the MDAC?

The signal to noise ratio of blogs may be low, but it’s way higher than the USENET, and possibly higher than the bathroom wall at my neighborhood Applebee’s.

Hopefully someone will read this and tell me how to fix this obvious (I won’t say bug) incongruity in Visual Studio.NET and the answering will raise this blogs signal to noise ratio.
