Hi,

I am looking for a DataSet Explorer tool to help me diagnose dataset realted
problems.
At this point I use breakpoint and command window which is not very
convenient.

Thanks,
Ali
 
Hi A.M.

This is what I am doing:
I've created a from with a grid on it and a combo box which acts as a root
table selector.
I have also a "show dataset" button which is visible only at debug time.
When clicked it shows the form and link the current dataset to grid and uses
that table from combo box as a root table to show.
 
Thanks for Miha's quick response.

Hi A.M.

Thank you for posting in the community!

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to get a tool which can help
you debug the ADO.NET DataSet. If there is any misunderstanding, please
feel free to let me know.

As far as I know, there isn't such a tool. Because the DataSet is an in
memory object in one application. It's hard for us to access it from the
other tool application.

Miha has provided a good suggestion. This is what commonly we do when
debuging a DataSet. Besides, we can also set the whole DataSet as the data
source for the DataGrid. This enable us to get a hierarchical view for all
tables and DataRelation objects. (We can see a DataRow and find its child
rows.) If we use the DataGrid together with the Watch Window, Debug Window
and Breakpoints, it will be more efficient for us to debug the DataSet
object.

Does this answer your question? If anything is unclear, please feel free to
reply to the post.
