Problem with dataset designer

Hi.

Our team have been having a few problems with the designers in VS2005 Team Edition for Developers.

Most recently, the new dataset designer disappears. The IDE appears to use the XML schema editor instead. The dataset editor is no longer listed in the "open with" dialog. Table adapters are no longer available, and it is not possible to add the partial class for custom code. This problem has spread from machine to machine over the last month, but we have not been able to identify a pattern. Our best fix so far is to uninstall and reinstall VS.

Also, many designers seem to leak, and when we do designer intensive work, the IDE degrades to such an extent that restarting it every hour provides significant benefits. I couldn't be bothered to trace this further.

Any advice appreciated, etc

Hi,

We have not seen this issue before, it would be helpful if you can provide more info to help us identify the issue.

What is the OS version? Do you install any patch like VS SP1 beta. Vista testing version?

Any CTP patch?

Any third party xsd designer?

I would suggest you to report the issue on connect site http://connect.microsoft.com/default.aspx so it can be tracked and solve in a more efficient way.
