Creating a dataset?

[TonyJ]

Hello!

Is always easier and better to create a typed Dataset by using Data Source
Configuration Wizard instead of with the Dataset Designer

In 1.1, I used to drap a table or stored procedure (from server explorer)
onto the (blank strong ds page), and rename the table or something.

Now with that 2.0 "auto fix RAPID development model" crap, if I do the
above, it throws a dataadapter thing on there, and adds a config file (all
for my ease and pleasure).

So now I manually create them, just to avoid the
auto-try-and-rapid-me-by-force stuff.

......

But I like the designer.


The answer is "it depends on what you like" really.

Tony,

You can import an XSD as a DataSet. There are some quirks as to how
the custom tool (the one that turns an XSD into a typed DataSet)
requires your schema to look so that it works. Inspection of the
results from the DataSet Designer should give you enough of a clue how
to create something that works. This isn't necessarily the best
method, however.
