Quiz

1. Using the _____________, you can manage SQL Server databases, OLEDB connections, Windows event logs, and Microsoft message queues.

   Server Explorer

2. True or False: Using the Server Explorer to manage my SQL Servers is a good idea, but there are security risks because everyone with Visual Studio .NET can see my SQL Servers.

   False. The Server Explorer in Visual Studio .NET does not enable you to bypass any permissions that you would otherwise not be granted using SQL Server security or Windows 2000 Authentication. In fact, using Server Explorer is more secure because there's no access to the Security node that SQL Server Enterprise Manager has.

3. To create a data-driven form with Visual Studio .NET, I should add a ________ first, and then a ____________, and finally I can add controls to my forms and set the data bindings on the controls.
