I can't edit a dataset with dataset editor

Hi everybody!

I'm new here and I have my first problem, when I try to edit a existing dataset with the dataset editor, (Configure data table) I can't modify it, all the configuration is there but in read-only mode, so to make changes in my dataset I have to create it again and overwrite the old one.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks a lots.

PostgreSQLDirect .NET DataSet Wizard generates a typed DataSet.
The DataSet Editor is designed to edit untyped DataSets.
To modify the existing typed DataSet you should use PostgreSQLDirect .NET DataSet Wizard again,
but on the second step choose the Existing typed DataSet.

Ok!

That is the way I made it. But lots of times the wizard loses the information of the commands and changes I made before.

Any way to keep the information?

Thanks a lots

Could you please send me (alexeyman*crlab*com) some
screenshots or a test sample to reproduce the issue?
What are the steps to reproduce the problem?

Let's see now I remember for example when the wizard gives me a "SELECT * FROM table", I changed it to "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY upper(field)" and it works great but if I have to modify the dataset to add a table or to make a change in a command a lost that change "ORDER BY".

This is an example but I don't remember very well but I know I had more changes lost in other situations, but I don't remember how to reproduce again them.

Thanks a lots

Hello everybody!

I'm starting again with my projects after the summer.

I downloaded the last version of the PostgreSQLDirect .NET and I continue having the same problems that I had when I opened this post.

Is this problem going to be solve? Because when I want to edit something I have to remake all the changes again. Is there another way to edit this dataset without losing the changes?

Regards

Manuel Romero

The fix of the problem is complicated by some other sophisticated problems. We are investigating this situation, but no timeframe can be provided. Sorry for delay.
