Description

Are Data Sources supported in .NET Core/.NET 5+? These steps don't say anything about them, but [this article](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/data-tools/add-new-data-sources?view=vs-2019) calls out some unsupported features in .NET Core.

> The features described in this article apply to .NET Framework Windows Forms and WPF development. The features are not supported for .NET Core development, for both WPF and Windows Forms.

Is that article only referring to "Adding new data sources"? Or are data sources completely unsupported in .NET Core?
