can't see my data adapters...
-
Being a newbee to the .NET stuff, I'm currently developing Web versions of my Company's apps and am having a very frustrating time with something that should be very easy. I've created an app which uses OledbDataAdapters/DataSets which handle the data and display it in DataGrids. When I originally created them, the data adapters were visible as Icons at the bottom of the Design View and all I had to do to modfy them was to right click and select properties, or whatever. However, now they are not visible any more and I need to modify them. How do I get the Icons back? Is it really obvious and I'm just being plain dumb? I don't ever remember deciding to hide them! Thanks for your patience and any help that you can give. code dope. Life's like a sh*t sandwich - the more bread you got, the less sh*t you gotta eat!

The first thing that comes to mind is to ask if they still exist. Are you able to run the program in the debugger? or do the dataAdaptor and dataSet names in your code have squiggles under them? Either of those two things would show that they don't exist anymore and somehow were deleted. If the program runs and/or the names don't have squiggles, then did the little window the icons appear in get shrunk? Look at the bottom of the design view window. Is there little shadded area with scroll arrows on the right right side? If so, place the cursor on the edge and drag it up till you see the icons.
