Connecting To SQL Server

[VeryConfused]

Hello Everybody,

I want to connect to a SQL Server on another computer. I have VB.NET Standard. Ibeleive it can be done through code even though the "visual" way claims it can't. I have tried all the stuff in the help files, but it doesnt seem to bear any resemblance to the "real thing"!. Can anyone shed some light on this please?:D

If you mean in the Server Explorer than it cannot be done. You can't even do that with VS.NET Pro. Only the higher than pro versions support that.

If you mean through code then you just use the name of the remote SQL Server or its IP address in the connection string.
