The "add a connection" icon is grayed out
Hello Community,
I've got a user who cannot add a database connection as when he clicks on the + icon, nothing happen.

Hi Bob,
When I have seen something this extreme, usually something went wrong in the installation and it needs to be reinstalled.
What version of our extension are they using?
What OS and version are they using?
What version of the .NET Runtime are they using?
Lets try to reinstall, and lets wait after each step to give it a chance to complete and open and close VS Code with each step:
Uninstall the extension, wait 2 minutes, restart VS Code, wait 2 more minutes, reinstall of the extension, wait 2 minutes, and then restart vscode.
Let me know if this fixes it for them.

Hello,
Thanks for your help.
It was due, as you suspected, as a missing correct .NET Runtime.
Issue fixed !

Hi Bob,
We are supposed to prompt the user if they don't have the correct .NET Runtime installed and we offer to take them to a web page to show them how to install it.
Did that happen in this case? If not, that is a serious issue and I would appreciate it if you could let me know what versions of .NET Runtime they had installed on their machine when this failure occurred. If we did notify them about the missing .NET Runtime, but they ignored it, then this is expected behavior. 😀
