Hi,

I have just installed BDS 2006 (upgraded from Delphi 7) and so far I am
very impressed! There is one question I have regarding the Data
Explorer:

In the Data Explorer, you can drag and drop SQL Server objects into
your project via the BDP. It automatically configures all the stored
proc parameters, etc for you. Great, however what if I do not want to
use the BDP? Let's say I am building a SQL Server client and I want to
use the vanilla ADO.NET SQL controls (SQLConnection, SQLDataAdapter,
etc) in my project? There does not seem to be any way to choose a
Stored Procedure and get the parameters to be automatically populated
for you, as it is with BDP and the old Delphi ADO controls such as
TADOStoredProc. Instead it seems as if I have to manually set up each
parameter whenever I add a SQLCommand that references a stored
procedure.

Is there any way of setting up the data explorer to allow ADO.NET
connections? Are there any third-party add-ons for Delphi to allow me
to drag-and-drop SQL objects into my project, or will I have to write
something myself???
