Figure 1-12: Database Explorer window

The Solution Explorer and Database Explorer windows dock at the right-hand side of the main VWD

window by default, but you can drag any of the windows to a docked or floating position using their

title bars. As you drag, small arrow indicators become visible allowing you drop the window into

another one, or dock it at the side of the main VWD window. Use the drop-down menu (the “down-

arrow” icon) in the title bar or the Auto-Hide feature (the pin-shaped icon) to set up the window

positions you require. If you cannot reorganize windows in the way you want to, you can go back to

the original window layout using the Reset Window Layout command on the main Window menu.

4. Now that the database is available in VWD, you can test that it is working properly, and see the

kinds of data it contains. Right-click on the data connection name and select New Query from

the pop-up menu that appears (see Figure 1-13).
