Designer Generated Code

[Guest]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to modify the rules visual studio (or the designer)
uses to generate it's dataset, datatable, datarow, datatableadapter classes
when you use the wizard to generate a strongly typed dataset from a database
table/stored proc? I want the code that it outputs to be slightly modified.
I do not want to extend or use partial classes to customise the class and I
do not mean that I want to modify the designer generated code by hand. I
want to modify the rules that the designer uses to generate that code. I
have been informed that this is possible but know nothing more. Can anyone
help me with this?

Thanks,
Jesse

You're looking for the Template directory.

A couple of links that can get you started. Funny...I was playing around
with modifying the templates last night.
