Getting Form a DataSet is on in design mode.

I want to get the TEXT value of the FORM that contains a
DataSet component. Unlike Controls, the Component base
class does not have a Parent member or any other property
that points to the form containing the component. Am I
just missing something?

Hi Bill,
In design-time the parent of component is the DesignerHost of
VisualStudio not the Form. Instead VS put all components in that form
(including the form) into a ComponentCollection, so I think you can
enumerate this collection and find that the reference of the Form, in my
mind , there should be only one Form type in the Collection, the is example
Code is like

//put these code in your component
IEnumerator iter = Site.Container.Components.GetEnumerator();
while(iter.MoveNext())
{
MessageBox.Show(iter.Current.GetType().ToString());
}
Please let me know if you still have questions on this issue, Thanks!
Kind regards,
