unspecified error creating a dataset Visual Studio .NET

I am using Visual Studio 2003. If I try to drag and drop a DataSet from the toolbox data tab I et a message box that simply says 'unspecified error'. Has anyone had this error while creating a dataset this way  I can create datasets in the code with no error, but if I try to set one up from the toolbox it does not work  I have tried rebuilding the project to no end.

    I have this error too.
    When dragging a DataSet from the Toolbox of Visual Studio .NET 2003 to the currently shown Control it displays a small form with a OK button saying: "Unspecified error".

    Is there a simple explanation to that

    I had the same problem. I make a copy of my project and start do delete my datasets in "Solution Explorer". I started from DataSets generated or modified recently. After each deleted dataset I try to generate new dataset and it works after deleting one of them. Then I start my original project and delete only this one dataset and created it again.

    I hope it helps someone.
