confused by website data sources

I am using Visual Studio 2005 to create a web site which includes reports.
The web site has several sub-folders.

When working with reports I can't get the website data sources (classes and
datasets in App_Code folders throughout the project) to behave
consistently.

Sometimes data source are displayed, sometimes not. Sometimes I can add
new data sources, sometimes I can't. Some classes are displayed, some
aren't. I can't figure out why.

When I create a report and click on Data on the menu. sometimes it shows Add
New Data Source, and sometimes it doesn't. When I show the data sources,
sometimes the Add New Data Source icon is disabled, sometimes it isn't.
Sometimes the Data menu shows Add New Data Source, but the Add New Data
Source icon is disabled.

When I Show Data Sources, sometimes data sources are displayed from App_Code
folders throughout the web site, and sometimes no data sources are
displayed at all. Clicking refresh doesn' t help.

Sometimes if I log off my computer and log on again, I can then see the Add
New Data source icon, and/or data sources from App_Code folders throughout
the project.

When I can see data sources, I can see some classes in App_Code folders but
not others, although they appear to be similar in construction.

What is up with data sources - why can I sometimes add a new data source,
sometimes I can't? Why can I somtimes see them and sometimes I can't? What
is required in a class to appear as a data source, other than to be placed
in an App_Code folder?

Thanks
Bill

Hi, I'm trying to understand a situation where ASP seems to be "blocking" of "queuing" requests. This is on a Win2K Advanced Server, with IIS5. I've seen some posts (e.g., http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=Tidy7IDbDHA.2108%40cpmsftngxa06.phx.gbl) that indicate that ASP will queue up requests when they come in with the same "session".

Documentation states that there supposed to be a "Data Sources" windows in VS 2005. See below. I can not find Data menu in VS 2005 anywhere. Anybody sees that menu? Opening the Data Sources Window You display the Data Sources window by clicking Show Data Sources on the Data menu. The Data menu is only available when a project is open in Visual Studio.

When I open the Data Sources window and create a new data source, everything works fine. But if I have a form showing in the IDE, the Data Sources window becomes disabled and doesn't display any of the database components. Yet, when I switch to code view, I can see everything just fine. Does anyone have any idea why the Data Sources window becomes disabled when I'm viewing forms? TIA.

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
