VS2005 Dataset Designer Bug?

Hi

I seem to be having an issue deleting datacolumns from a datatable created using the dataset designer (hope that's clear!). I have created a dataset with two datatables based on SQL Server 2000 tables. I can't seem to delete any of the datacolumns that make up the datatable. I can change names, modify, etc but if I try and delete the datacolumn I get the following error message:

Failed to delete object(s)'{0}'.

{1}.

The only option I have is to click OK and the column then reappears. I don't have this issue in any other dataset, just this particular one. I've created quite a few custom queries so I don't really want to delete and start again. I can add new columns to each of the two datatables but I can't then delete them.

Anyone any ideas on this one

Thanks

Guy.

    If you've been communicating with Steve, you should probably continue to follow up with him. If he gives you a bug or case number, there are some other ways you can check online.

    Hi

    The problem lies in the Visual Studio IDE, not with any code I am writing. It occurs in the dataset designer when you try and delete a data column from an already existing datatable. It will allow you to add additional datacolumns and change existing ones - just not delete them.

    I am able to modfiy datatables in other datasets without an issue, it seems only to affect the tables in this one particular DS. I have forwarded the xsd file on to Steve Lasker at his request. What's the best way of following up the issue to see if anythings been discovered yet

    Thanks

    Guy.
