C# 2010 Edition

My 1st program (chpt.1) screwed up at the point of trying to get the Data Source for the Database. (pgs. 28, 29).

#3 on page 29: Steps 1 and 2 were fine. But starting with Step 3, then 4 were different and also the Finish box section. Had to do with Strings. No Tables checkbox and the last instruction didn't say "ContactDBDataSet".

And of course there is nothing in the Data Sources except two copies of "ContactDBDataSet(1) and nothing else, no drop down boxes or anything. They are shown in the Database Explorer though. There are two copies in the Data Sources because I tried doing it over.

Anyone else have or had this issue?

Did you try starting from scratch? Sounds like you made a mistake earlier in the process (the initial creation of the database). It adds on a 1 (or 2, 3...n) when you already have a file/database/application/etc sharing that name.

No, I haven't started from scratch again. I deleted the old one out, but decided to just skip that project since I don't want to go to the trouble of filling in the database again for it not to work again. Everything up to that point I mentioned looked perfect first time around.

Thanks for trying to help. :-)
