Partial Classes - Identical Signatures

[daokfella]

I want to extend the auto-generated tableadapter classes created by
the dataset designer.

I'd like to add a connectionString property so I can set this outside
my class library. I've got Get/Set code for that in my partial class.

Is it possible to "REPLACE" method calls in a partial class? In other
words, I'd like to replace the InitConnection() Sub in the generated
class with my own in my partial class.

I basically want to change the original in the auto-generated code:

Private Sub InitConnection()
Me._connection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Me._connection.ConnectionString =
Global.FVE.DAL.My.MySettings.Default.MyConnectionString
End Sub

To This in my partial:

Private Sub InitConnection()
Me._connection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
If m_ConnectionString = Nothing Then
Me._connection.ConnectionString =
Global.FVE.DAL.My.MySettings.Default.MyConnectionString
Else
Me._connection.ConnectionString = m_ConnectionString
End If
End Sub

Is this possible? Or should I just init the _connection variable in my
ConnectionString Set?

To replace amethod you're better off inheriting the class.
