Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.DataConnectionDialog

I try to convert a VS 2015 C# project to the new VS 2017 but I can't find a way to use the old Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.DataConnectionDialog

I try downloading NuGet Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI but still not working, the DataConnetionDialog is still missing

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks Paolo

The DataConnectionDialog is a separate package:

https://nuget.org/packages/DataConnectionDialog/1.2

This was already answered here:

Unable to load 'Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI" for DataConnectionDialog use

However, it is has been "unlisted", which means you won't find it in "Manage Packages for Solution" window. You can install it via the "Package Manager Console" with the command:

Install-Package DataConnectionDialog -Version 1.2.0

Edit

and based on this answer:

Is there a free "Add Connection" or "SQL Connection" Dialog?

Microsoft had published the source for the Visual Studio connection dialog. That is also no longer available, but there is a copy of it here:
