Adding data to a DataSet programmatically isn't too difficult, Dmitry. I'm sure you'll quickly discover how to do it. But, don't hesitate to ask if you get stumped.

Also, if you're using WinForms, then data binding your TextBoxes to the columns in the DataTables is the way you want to go to get data to-and-from your TextBoxes from your DataTable.

You'll see a list of options, one of which is the XML Schema Editor that will show what you saw in VS2003. (Believe me, I'm not thrilled with what they changed).

>>To the best of my awareness, you can't see the datatables in Solution Explorer. You have to open the dataset visually to see them. (I'm sure if you expanded the class view. you'd see the datatable objects as well).

>>I don't know why you wouldn't be seeing all the datatables in Crystal. If they truly exist in the dataset, they "should" show in the Crystal DB expert.
