Compilier will not recognize DataSet object.

[Dave]

Compilier will not recognize DataSet object.

As you can see below is from a test simple form with no
other code. I'm just trying to get any Aspx form to
recognize the DataSet object. You can see from the code
I am importing System.Data.SqlClient. I can get to
DataReader, DataView and DataTable but Visual Studio
won't even bring up DataSet on Intellisense, much less
compile it. The message I get is: "Reference required
to assembly 'System.Xml' containing the implemented
interface 'System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable'.
Add one to your project.

But I don't want that one. I want the one in
System.Data.SqlClient. Same thing happens when I try
System.Data.oleDB. What painfully obvious step am I
missing here?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

DataSet is a class that enables you to store data on your application
memory and manipulate it. DataSet is made from DataTables and Relations
between them. to Fill DataTable one can use DataAdapter of SQLClient,
OLEDB, OracleClient or any other DB connectivity namespace.

As you see DataSet is not part of any DB namespace it is "global" class
that enable you to store data and you can decide what is the source of
that Table.

The DataSet can be handling as XML file. Actually it got XSD file
(schema) that set the Tables, fields, relations and other Meta data.
That is the reason way DataSet need reference to System.XML.

I have the VB.NET equivelent.

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
(rest of the code is at the bottom of the page.)

And that is what baffles me. I can get to the other
objects exposed from the namespace such as DataReader,
DataView and DataTable. It is _just_ DataSet that will
not get recognized.

If you look you see that DataSet is part of System.Data. This namespace
is "base" namespace for actual DB connectivity Namespace that actually
implement Interfaces that declared in the System.Data namespace. if you
check system.data you will find IDataAdapter, IDataReader, IDBCommand
and more. those interfaces implement by SQL, OLEDB or OracleClient
(SQLDataAdapter, OLEDataAdapter, and so). What I try to say is that
System.Data hold declaration that aren’t specific to certain DB, on the
contrary other data namespaces (System.Data.*) are DB specific. Now
DataSet isn’t DB specific it just hold data in specific format and that
is the reason MS put it in System.Data namespace.

DataSet is part of System.Data Namespace but if you don’t have reference
to System.XML you cant see it in neither your Intellisense nor compiling
the project. (The DataSet class reference System.XML and that the reason
you need to do it)

That is indeed odd. What error message do you get when you add the
reference?

The message I get is: "Reference required
to assembly 'System.Xml' containing the implemented
interface 'System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable'.
Add one to your project." (I removed the path name part of
the message.)

I get this message with or without adding System.Xml.
Under all circumstances I have System.Data. Also, to
clarify, I get the error when building the project as well
as VS.NET has it underlined as an error with the same
message.

Thanks for you help. I'm just dumbfounded since I have
access to the other objects in the namespace. Yeah, I
even tried the 'ol reboot windows trick. I'm running XP
Professional.

Okay, did you add a reference to the assembly in the project, or a "using"
(or "imports" in VB.Net) statement in your code or both?

Just an "Import" statement in the code behind the Aspx
form. (I'm using VB for my code.) I have not added a
reference to the assembly. Truth be told I didn't know I
had to add one to the assembly (or how to for that matter
but I can look it up). Would that explain the errant
behavior?

Definitely. That's what "Reference" in the error message refers to. Just go
to your Project window, find the "References" element, right-click and
select "Add Reference" from the context menu. Then select the Assembly from
the list of built-in Assemblies. You should be good to go! :)

Good Gravy I can't believe that worked. So I needed a
reference to System.XML in the assembly but I didn't need
to import it into the Aspx page. Still can't find any
documentation that mentions this but I'll at least know
what to do when the compilier complains again.

Thank you very much Kevin. Amazing how the rest of the
code is falling into place now.

Dave

>Definitely. That's what "Reference" in the error message

refers to. Just go

right-click and

>select "Add Reference" from the context menu. Then select

the Assembly from

>the list of built-in Assemblies. You should be good to

go! :)
