Mine is final version and I still have the same problem. someone may want to report this to MS. > >the problem is that it creates "{ oj.....}" in Tableadapter which you drag from "Data Connections" table. I just create query/TableAdapter and remove that then everything works for me. > >you may want to give it a try in "Query" or your own TableAdapter. > >1. open up your *.xsd dataset file >2. go to toolbox and drag a "query" (or TableAdapter) over. >3. follow the wizard, it will give you {oj...} in "query builder" click "ok" (don't worry in this point because it will keep on adding {oj} for you all the time) >4. back to "tableadpter query configuration wizard" screen, and remove "{oj" "}" >5. click "Next" all the way to finish the wizard >6. right click on the query you just created and choose "preview data" >7. click on "preview" then every thing shows out correctly from there. >Glad I could help.
