Adding a data connection to SQL Server 2008 from VS 2008

Im trying to add a connection to a database in SQL Server 2008 using Visual Studio 2008. When testing the connection, it says that it is successful. However, once I said okay, it complains and say: "Cannot add data connection. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

How do I go about adding a data connection to a SQL Server 2008 using Visual Studio 2008?

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" is usually an indicator of not using the Keyword "New".

Via code would be something like:

var conn = new SqlConnection([connectionString]);
conn.Open();
