data sets disappear - unspecified error

Question

I have something unusual going on. I move a project between 1 of 3 machines. I have been doing this for months during development on XP. This is a CSharp web project. My datasets disappear. I can do a save and build and there are no errors. Yet when I go to a form with a dataset adapter and connection object - the data sets are gone. I cannot regenerate them because I get an Unspecified error when I right click on the adapter and attempt to generate a dataset. Any ideas? Thanks for looking at this question. William

Well I don't know what the real answer is...however this is the manual labor answer. * Delete the project files (.csproj .csproj.webinfo & .sln) * recreate the project in the same web folder * add all the .aspx .xsd files and the web.config and the global.asax * Now go back into each form with a SQL connector and right-click on each SQL adapter to reset the SQL adapter back to your connector. * Delete the one line definition of your bad data set (...like this one... protected LoanTrak.dsFinanceDoc dsFinanceDoc;) * right-click on the SQL adapter and re-generate the data set and overwrite it when prompted. These were my steps...FYI should anyone else run into the problem William
