# 2707 .NET Data Provider Installation Incorrectly Registers Compact Framework Assembly

---

I have managed to sucessfully set up a database running off a remote server, and can access my data using the manager, however I cannot seem to get the ElevateDB driver to connect using the .net data provider, when using VS2005.
This is on Windows XP SP2, using ElevateDB server v2.01 (Build 1) trial version.

I add a new connection from within the solution explorer using a new Database.

I then choose 'New Connection' and change my Data source to 'ElevateDB Database', which is available in the list.

Once I click OK the only option I have is to enter a connection string in the MISC -> ConnectionString field.
I enter for example
'TYPE=REMOTE;ADDRESS=127.0.0.1;DATABASE=MyDatabase;'

Clicking on "Test connection" returns "The connection succeded." but when I click OK I get the following error

"Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider"
