DataSets

Hi,

I'm brand new to CodeSmith and so far it looks great. I've been looking through thte Template Explorer and the TypedDataSet.cst template popped out at me. I am creating a DataSet based DAL using Visual Studio 2005. I notice that .xsd, .vb, .xsc and .xss files are generated by VS.

My question is how do I integrate the code generated by CodeSmith from the TypedDataSet template into my Visual Studio Project? Will I be able to view the DataSet through Visual Studio's graphical viewer?

Hi,

The template you are referring to creates a class from a dataset xsd file. You can use the generated class in a Visual Studio project. You can also use XSD.exe to generate an xsd from an xml file if need be.

Thanks pwelter34 for your help, but I'm having trouble understanding your answer.

You mention in your post that the template "creates a class from a dataset xsd file". I created the cs class file using the "TypedDataSet.cst" CodeSmith template which referenced a table in my database. Am I confused here?

You also mention that I can use "xsd.exe to generate the xsd from an xml file". How do I create the XML file. Can I use a CodeSmith template to somehow generate the XML file? or can I derive the XML file from the class file?

Thanks for the help!
