Angelina,
What is it that you cannot see listed? 'Generate DataSet' is not on the
toolbox, Dataset is on the toolbox.
To use "Generate DataSet" you need to have a DataSet added to your project
via 'Project - Add Item - DataSet'. Then under the Schema menu there is a
Generate Dataset option (or you can right click.
To define an DataSet field on your Form, UserControl or Component:
- Open a Form, UserControl or Component in design mode.
- Click 'View - Toolbox' to show the toolbox. The toolbox should be docked
along the side of VS.NET, normally it is on the left side of my VS.NET.
- Click on the 'Data' tab, it should be the first or second tab listed in
the toolbox, I have 'My User Controls' followed by 'Data'.
- Drag 'DataSet' from the toolbox onto the design surface of the item opened
earlier, I have 'Pointer' followed by 'DataSet' on my 'Data' tab of the
Toolbox.
- You should get a dialog box that pops asked if you want a typed or untyped
DataSet, you need to have used the GenerateDataset to get a typed dataset.
Hope this helps
