data adapter

[Fanor]

Hi guys,

I'm new in VS 2005.

I noticed that in the toolbox there is no dataadapter!!

In a previous version there was a data adapter icon in toolbox and is was
easy to drag to a form, is it posible to add the data adapter icon to the
toolbox??

I can create by code the data adapter but it takes longer to write all the
field mappings and so on.

TIA

Apparently, the VS2005 is on crack and they forgot the lessons learned years
ago and want you to use the *coupled* TableAdapter.... which violates N-Tier
principles and makes creating a distributed infrastructure impossible (where
the data access layer is in one place and only the dataset passed between
layers).

That they HIDE the DataAdapter is just evidence of their cluelessness.
