Hello,
I am working on a Windows Application developed in VS2008 on SQL2000 datbase.
I am trying to find the source table for on of the datarows in one of the DataSet tables.
The row in question could have been set to any of three tables with a column of the same name.
Is there a way to examine the DataSet properties to see which table it is pulling from to populate each row?
Viewing in designer offers very litle detail.

Solution 1

I do not think there is a way to know the Table name in Database from which the data was populated. The "Table" property of DataRow provides information about the DataTable that the row belongs to. You have to keep the information in a local variable when the data is populated into the DataTable.

Solution 2

Found it.

In case someone else is as in-experienced as I:

A list of all the Data Sets with corresponding source tables can be found on the Data Sources Tab

No wait, that's just the DataSet DataTable and DataRow info, not the source table info.
