No tables shown for dataset in DataSource drop down in designer

Hi All,

Our project currently has 15 data sets in it. I have just recently added a new one and added some table adapters to it.

The problem is when I go to bind the new tables to my controls, there are no tables are displayed under the dataset in the data source drop down. (i.e. no plus sign to expand to select the table). The previous dataset still have all their tables displayed though.

I have tried deleting and re-adding the dataset, with different names, and different tables, clean, re-build, restarting my machine and still nothing. New projects don't have this problem but re-creating this project would be a real pain.

The project is in VB and .net 3.5. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Nathan.

Hi Ling,

I am unable to reproduce this error outside of the project i am currently using. The only workaround that i have found is to copy an existing data set that works, add it to the project, delete the tables that are in it and rename the dataset.

Thanks,
Nathan.

Hi,

Sorry. I am not able to reproduce this issue. Have you add the dataset in Data Source Configuration Wizard?

Could you please provide more details or make a demo project for us to test? Please upload your demo project to some server and offer us the URL. Skydrive (http://skydrive.live.com/ ) may be a good option. You can sign up 25GB free space only with your Windows Live Passport.
