How to add System.data.sqlclient to vb.net 2019

Julio Enrique Lopez Barajas 1

Hi everybody

I've just install Visual Studio 2019 Professional, i usually work with Visual Basic. I added one project to my solution in order to have a 3 layer solution and work with databases.

But the problem is that when i wrote the line imports system.data.sqlclient at the top of the code looks that its not included on visual studio.

I've read at many forums about it and i can't find the way to add the refrence; any clue or tip on how can i solve this issue?

Thanks in advance, have a nice day.

Are you sure that you have created a .Net Framework project (not .Net Core) ?

In a new .Net Framework project, it is added as Reference by default :

I've just check it out and i found that it's a .Net Core, you're right.

But i found that i can add the reference with NuGet Manager; I have not try to run my project to find out if it works or not, but anyway, i'm gonna change it.

Thank you so much for your help.
