It's not so much changes to the designer-generated class that I object to, it's that the .xsd *itself* gets changed to include a lot of unnecessary (IMHO) stuff. That's what sucks.

>>That'll work as long as you open the DataSet with the XML view, not the designer view (with the little boxes that represent the tables). If you open in the designer view, make a change, then save, a whole bunch of extra junk gets put in your .xsd ... really clutters it up. If it's already cluttered up with that extra junk, then I guess it doesn't matter. But, I prefer clean, un-cluttered .xsd's, so I always make changes to the XML itself.
