SYMPTOMS
The DataConnections that are in the Global.asa do not show in the DataEnvironment or the Data View.



CAUSE
This is caused by the user adding an existing Global.asa to a project. The user copy/pasting the Global.asa into the Project Explorer or manually copying it to the Web server will not force Visual InterDev to parse for DataConnections. Because of this, none of the DataConnections contained in the file will be visible in DE or data view.



RESOLUTION
The only resolution is to re-add the DataConnections through the Visual InterDev "Add Data Connection..." command.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create new Web project (ProjectA).
 * 2) Add a DataConnection to SQL Server, the Pubs database.
 * 3) Close and save the solution.
 * 4) Create new Web project (ProjectB).
 * 5) Use Windows Explorer to drag the Global.asa from ProjectA (in the \Inetpub\wwwroot of the Web server) into the project explorer for ProjectB.
