Adding Data Source Error: Key Not Valid For Use In Specified State

I'm getting the following error when trying to add a Data Source to a brand
new project: "Key not valid for use in specified state". I've created a new
Windows Application project. I go to the Data menu and choose 'Add New Data
Source...'. I select 'Database' and hit the Next button, then get the error.
If I choose 'Web Service' or 'Object' as the data source I do not get the
error.

How can I correct this problem?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

After you clicked the Next button, the wizard is trying to get a list of
all the database connections in the DataConnections List. I suggest you try
the following:

1. Select View/Server Explorer from the main menu.
2. In the DataConnections, you will see a list of available data
connections. Remove all of them by right clicking on one connection and
select Remove from the popup menu.

Then try to use the add datasource wizard again to see if it is working
fine. HTH.

Thank you. I was able to get past this problem by deleting all Data
Connections from the Server Explorer.
