Typed datasets and table table adapters components not showing in
Toolbox

Hi,

I have a solution with several projects. One project contains datasets
with table adapters.
When I opened a usercontrol in design mode, it used to have all
datasets and tableadapters in toolbox, under a tab name with the name
of the datasets project

However, I had to upgrate to a new hdd, and did a clean Windows
install, with VS2005, etc
Now, when I open te solution and open a usercontrol in designer, I see
only the other user controls, but no datasets or table adapters as I
used to have before. Sometimes I see a tab with the name of the
datasets project, but on it there is a text telling "There are no
usable controls in this group"

What happend?

I mention, on old HDD I had instaled VS2003 and VS2005, on new one I
have only VS2005 and installed VS2008 express, but then I removed it
(as I thought maybe it caused the issue). I even uninstalled and
reinstalled VS 2005, with no luck.

Can anyone helo me with this?

Thank you
 
At every version the toolbox is newly set to a basic set of tools.

However, by clicking right on the toolbox, you can add any tool you want.

Yes, I can do that, but what I wanted is to have the toolbox
automatically populating with the components I have in the solution.
If I add a new usercontrol in the datasets project, it will show in
toolbox. BUt not the datasets and tableadapters I already had.

Any solution to make the VS to autoload all the datasets and tables I
have in that project?

Thank you
 
Click on App_Code folder
Click Insert New Item
Click the "dataSet" on dialog showing item types
The DataSet context in theToolBox will become enabled.

I found solution by just inserting any object I ran across on aspx form and
this one did it
