Creating DataSets With VBExpress Edition

[kurf]

I've been going through the walkthrough put together here by MS and I've reached this problem::

To add the schema

 

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the name of your project, choose Add, and then choose Add New Item.

2. In the Templates pane, choose DataSet, name the new item dsCustomers, and then click Open.

The XML Designer opens with a new, blank dataset schema.

 

3. Click the XML tab at the bottom.

 

I have the vbExpress edition and do not see this "TAB"; could someone explain a little about performing this in the "Express Edition"?

In VS2002 and VS2003 there was a Tab - you couldn't miss it. I just tried creating a new dataset in C# Express - no such tab. I did some poking around, but I can't find a way to view the XML other than opening the XSD in notepad or similar.

That's all I've been able to figure out also! Thank you for your reply.

I'll note that if you used previous versions of Visual Studio, the XML for a dataset was pretty straightforward. The newer XML is vastly more complicated, at least the code generated by C# express. I'd hate to go in there manually anymore :)

The same as with vbExpress! From what I can tell I'm going to be doing alot of manual labor with these datasets in the express IDE! I appreciate the Info; Thanks.
