Transferring saved data connections between Visual Studio installations

Question

I use the data and schema comparison tools in Visual Studio a great deal. I just finished installing VS 2010 on a new VM and realized, of course, that all the saved data connections from my previous installation are not available. Is there a way to transfer these connections between installations of VS 2010?

Answer 1

I believe you just copy the file from

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ServerExplorer\DefaultView.SEView

from the installation with the data connections to the same location in the VM.
