Description:
I may be wrong, but I expected to be able to drag, and drop tables onto my DataClasses.dbml schema in Visual Studio 2008 using the 6.0 version.

I have a new and clean install of Visual Studio 2008 without any other plugins.

How to repeat:

- Install the V6.0.0 connector
- Add a connection to the db using the Server Explorer
- Add a .dbml to your project
- Drag a table from the server explorer onto the .dbml file

Then you should get a message box like this:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The selected object(s) use an unsupported data provider.
---------------------------
OK   Help

Hi Morten and thanks for your report.

Same as for Bug#43436, I need some time to figure out what to put where. Then I'll take look into this.

Probably due to my Bug#44141...
