possible to use MSDE in visual basic express?

total newbie to vb express, can it be done using the data sources area? or do i have to manually code connection strings? I cant get sql express to install for whatever reason, so i thought id use msde instead. Is there an easy way to get vb express to connect to msde?

Yes you can use any type of database with the express editions, the only thing is that you have to do it manually through code as none of the wizards will pick them up.

So we can't use the wizard to connect to an MSDE databse on VB 2005 express as it is the case to connect to an SQL 2005 express database?

Then we have to maunally code it as in Dim cn as conection etc....

is it that case?
