This morning, I installed Visual Studio 2013 and after doing so, a legacy application which has been running on our systems for years has started receiving errors. The application is written in VB 2010 and when I debug it, I get the following exception at the point where it is trying to connect to SQL Server. The application was not modified and had been running up to that point.
I'm able to log on to the database with SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 but cannot connect to the database with my VB application.
I did some searching on the internet and found the same problem reported in Experts Exchange. They report that the most recent version of System.Data.dll is to blame for the problem but I'm unable to verify that. I need to get this application running again. What can I do to remedy the problem?
