Customizing Relations in a Typed DataSet

I'm working in Visual Studio 2005.

I'm looking at two tables in the Data Set Designer. There's a relation
between the two tables that lists 7 matching columns. Works great.

One of the key columns from each table is called "Team". Valid values are F1
through F7, and when they match, the result set works exactly like you'd
think it would.

The problem is that somebody decided to put in a "Team" value of ALL, which
of course doesn't match any of the existing F1 through F7 values.

Any suggestions for using some sort of wild card or adding custom code to
the DataSet that won't be overwritten by the DataSet Designer? It seems like
the alternative is to remove "Team" from the Relation and custom code this in
the UI, but I think custom-defining the relation in the DataSet would be
cleaner.

Thanks,
Randy

Hi
Doesn't the problem actually boil down to incorrect data?
The 'All' entry is a summary of certain aspects of each team data
row.
It could be constructed as a view, it has no place as a row in the
table(s).
From your question my suspicion is that your UI should be presented
with all of the rows from the dataset and that the filtering should be
done there.
Dataset -Bindingsource -datagridview.
Bindingsource.f ilter controls what rows are displayed.

I've a fairly complex schema which I'm trying to create a typed data set for. I've had a number of issues to date but it is sort of working (e.g. elements are not considered nullable unless minOccurs="0" is present. If not the codegen:nullValue attribute is ignored). What I'm seeing at the moment is that if I do NOT add in key and key ref relations, the cs generated puts in sensibly named relations with appropriate accessors. But...

Hi, I am using a strongly typed dataset in .Net 2.0, and would like all tables to inherit from a cusomt datatable class instead of DataTable. The reason for this is that I want some common code excuted on the row events, and this I want to implement this once in a Table base class. ie. instead of having this code generated:

After reading a tutorial and fiddling, I finally got this to work. I can now put two tables created with a DataTable class into a DataRelation. Phew! And it works!

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.

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,...
