Dataset Designer not working (Visual Studio 2008)

1/29/2010 12:29:00 AM     32 comments
Recently, my development machine's VS 2008 suddenly can't open the designer view for dataset file [xsd].
If you guys facing the same problem with me, you can try to run the command below:-


Open Visual Studio Tools-> Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt.

  1. devenv/resetskippkgs
  2. devenv /resetsettings 
  3. devenv /setup
For my case, 3rd option solved my problem without uninstall/reinstall.

    Manual set the default editor to DataSet Designer:
    1) Right click the Xsd file to access the context menu
    2) Select "Open With..." option
    3) Select DataSet Editor
    4) Select the "Set as Default" button
    5) Select OK

    Note: there is an "Automatic Editor Selector (XML)" option that should make these steps redundant, however...
