System.Windows.Forms.Design.IUIService serivce could not be found

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a new data source using VS 2008 wizards (Server Explorer->Data Connections->Add Connection) to create my Datasets but I'm getting this error on a message box:

"System.Windows.Forms.Design.IUIService serivce could not be found"

No more details ! ! ! I have uninstalled and installed VS and all of its components but it didn't help.

Please help me. I'm so tired of this message :-(

I'm running VS 2008 Pro on Windows XP SP3 and Working on a Console App using C#

Thank you all,

Hi Alex Nikoo,

I am moving this thread from Base "Visual Studio Setup and Installation" forum to the "Windows Forms Designer" forum, since the issue is related to designer. There are more experts in the "Windows Forms Designer" forum.

Thanks

What does this command do?

It Forces Visual Studio to merge the resource metadata that describes menus, toolbars, and command groups from all VSPackages available.

Sorry Dude, but it happens after some update to VS2k8. It is not a Windows Forms Designer issue, but it interacts with other stuff like browsing the sql server server within VS. I hope Cosophy 's solution will work to everyone, but still it is a bug in Visual Studio update.
