Hi All,

I am using the XML Designer in C# to generate a dataset
based on test tables I have designed. The XML designer
does not seem to provide a comprehensive mapping of column
information. For example the max length of a string is not
mapped to the XML document. Is there a setting or
configuration which will enable me to generate more
detailed XML documents. Thanks,
Sean

The XML designer in Visual Studio is fairly primitive compared to most other
designers, but it can be adequate if you're willing to use it in combination
with schema coding.

I basically use it to set up a rough outline of my database structure, and
then switch to XML view to finish off the details. It's best asset is it's
ability to generate basic schemas directly from an XML document or dataset,
which definitely gets you off and moving in the right direction.
