After upgrading my project to .NEG 7.0 we now receiver an error message when using commands such as New SqlConnection and New SqlDataAdapter. Errors are "Type SqlConnection is not defined" and "Type SqlDataAdapter is not defined"
How do I fix this?

Hi @SuperCoder ,

Turns out that I needed to install Microsoft.Data.SqlClient package from the Nuget Package Manager because I am using .NET 7.0
According to the documentation at System.Data.SqlClient Namespace the project needs to target .Net 8
