Creating SQL Database with Visual C++

[knightwriter]

I'm a CIS student and want to create a C++ application that uses windows forms for a user interface. When I try to add new items, such as a database it only allows for various scripts.

I'm proficient with visual basic and there is no problems adding a database to the application there.

Am I doing something wrong? Does C++ not work somehow with a database in visual basic?

Any advice would be appreciated.

"c++ application that uses windows forms"

So what programming language are you using ?

What database engine you want to use ? There is no drag and drop functionality in c++ like in visual basic. I think borland and delphi has this.

I have visual studio 2010 and am able to use windows forms in C++ as a GUI for the user. I have to code that events of course and the logic, but the interface is drag and drop, much like QT. However, I'm unable to link a SQL Server 2008 to the application. I can do this in visual basic and C#, but I'm learning C++ and wanted to be able to do this. It seems like it should be possible.
