I see in the book numerous references to dragging a SQLDataConnection control from the toolbar to a window.  I have spent several hours looking for this control.  I have found and added the SQLConnection control, but not the SQLDataConnection.  Are these one and the same or can you help me with how to add the SQLDataConnection control to the toolbar?

Some additional info on the original question....
 
Page 67 of the .Net 2005/2008 book says "Drag and drop an SQLDataConnection control onto the form.  This control is found in the Toolbox window under the Date tab."
 
What is the tool, program, library etc behind this tool?  I found a link on another site that says...
 
-Right click on your ToolBox
-Select "Choose Items..."
-Select "SqlConnection" from the ".NET Framework Components" tab.
 
I did this and it does not appear to be correct as I read the book.  Is there a change in terminology between  Visual Studio/Basic 2005 and 2008?
 
Thanks,
