In visual studio 2012 there is a Data menu option and add data source option that can be use to add a connection string to the app.config or the web.config. Where is that menu in Visual Studio 2015 ?

To open data source window choose View -> Other Windows -> Data Sources as well you can try the short keys Shift+Alt+D.

  • As of today I cannot find the menu entry and the keyboard shortcut just expands the "Debug" menu. – GigiSan Jul 04 '16 at 09:00
  • @GigiSan, it depends on which version and type of VS you are in use. – Rahul Jul 04 '16 at 16:01
  • Visual Studio 2015, that's why I'm here. :) But apparently I had [another problem](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38180803/visual-studio-2015-add-new-data-source/38182714#38182714) so thanks anyway. – GigiSan Jul 05 '16 at 07:01

Data sources window is not available for web applications, only available for windows forms and WPF applications in visual studio 2015.

you can use Server explorer instead.
