Problems with DataSets in DataSources window when renaming the source database

I have a set of typed datasets that are tied to a database on a mssql2005
server. They are naturally displayed and available in the DataSources
window. Now I want to rename the database, but when I do that and
reconfigure any of the datasets with the Wizard, all the datatables I have
previously selected are marked as unavailable (with a red x next to it), and
displays all database objects in the renamed database as "new" and
unchecked.

How can I rename the database and keep the current set of typed datasets?

When I rename the database I obviously also change the database name in the
connection string in the settings file.

I have also done some more testing and it seems like the DataSources window
handle this inconsistently, or I am doing something wrong. Because even
though two different datasets use the same datasource, on one of them the
wizard reports it cannot connect to the database and the database name
displayed in the error message is the old name even though I have changed
the connection string. The other one manages to connect to the datasource
but has the problem as described in my previous post. Everything is back to
normal if I rename the database and connection string back to it's original
name. Albeit the change is not noticed instantly, it seems to take some
amount of time (minutes) before the datasources wizard is aware of the
change somehow.

I have been using MySql as the database using JSP's and JavaBeans but recently I have wanted to start using the database connection pooling mechanism built into TomCat. I think I am having a problem with defining my JDBC resource within Tomcat. I am pretty sure that my code is correct (but I am not certain), and the problem is with defining the resource in Tomcat. Has anyone done this before? Any advice would be helpful.

I have had a form within a project that has been tested and working for the past 4-5 months. The other day, I decided to change all of my database connection strings into a dynamic property for a few reasons. All was OK until testing a particular form, and I got a strange error when opening it whilst running, and I got an exception stating that the dataset I was using to fill a table was not initialised.

I'm developing an VB.NET Windows Forms application that uses CR for VS.NET (original version shipped with VS.NET 2002 - my VS.NET has the latest SP installed, no SPs for CR).

Fine, I know how to do that and it works perfectly on my development box. The...

In one of the applications that I'm working on I have 2 sets of functions that build different datasets. Imagine 4 columns in a datagrid. Inside those 4 columns I have nested datalists. Two of the datalists' datasources point to database A and the other two point to database B. This effect allows the client to perform a side-by-side comparison of the same product so that records can be updated accordingly. It's easy enough to scroll down...

What happened to an alternative to DataSource's? I have given up trying to use DataSources for a specific use where a 3rd party control wouldn't work with them. So how can I use traditional DataSet's on ASPX or ASCX files. WHen I add them to the component surface, I still can't use it as a data source on controls on the non-component design surface. Is it this broken? If I hadn't started the project with the with Profile, Membership...

I'm using VS2005, C#, ASP.NET 2.0. I'm trying to create a report using SQL Reporting Services (to be used in local mode so I don't have to deal with SQL Server). When I create a new report in my website, nothing shows up in the Website Data Sources window. I added a few different strongly-typed Datasets to my website, and they don't show up. The only way I could get anything to show up was to create a new class that's derived from a...

Hi all, This post is sort of tangentially related to my earlier posts on configuration files for DLLs. Does anyone know how to create typed DataSets using VS2005's new DataSet designer, but with the ability to configure the connection string via a config file? The designer seems to hard-code the connection string into the dataset itself, which just can't be right.

Hi all; as posted some days ago, I'm converting an on-line app; I used to heavily rely on strongly-typed DataSets directly dropped onto pages, and so viewed by code(-behind) as well. In the next two weeks I discovered that such objects are no more directly usable in pages, namely in DataGrid which don't see them any more. Even if rebuilt in Component Designer, and so visible in code, DataSets are invisible in Page Designer, so now it's...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
