Guys, I got in late on this project you are trying to do. I have downloaded the project. I have downloaded the Northwind database and attached it on SQL 2008. I have change the database connection in settings.settings to my SQL Server. I cannot get to the data. Is there something I am missing? I would like to get it running so I can give you feedback on it.
