I used the dataset manager to add a new dataset. When I was done it showed up in the Solution Explorer but not in the dataset manager, even AFTER I hit refresh and restarted VS2008.

Any idea why????

Thanks.

There are several ways to add an instance of a DataSet to the Form Designer, among them:
1. When generating of DataSet instance through DataSet Wizard in the last window check "Add this DataSet to designer".
2. If you generate a DataSet instance without this option, after building your project this instance will appear in "Project_name Components" of your Toolbox. Just drag and drop it or make double click on it.

I'm talking about the "DataSet Manager". It's always empty. I'm not talking about the form designer. Any ideas? Thanks.

Also, of what benefit is the DataSet Manager? It seems that the Solutions Explorer lists the DataSet's as well.

If you add a DataSet instance to Form Designer, it appears in DataSet Manager too. Please try the steps mentioned above. If the problem persists, let us know.

For some reason I can't get any dataset to appear in the manager, regardless of how I create the dataset (either thru the wizard or thru the standard way). It's always empty.

We failed to reproduce the mentioned problem in MyDirect .NET 4.85.35. If your version differs, try to update it. Please notify us on results.

Whats the best way to update MyDirect.NET? Do an uninstall/reinstall or just reference the newest DLL? What is the latest version and where can I download it?

We recommend you to make an uninstall/reinstall. The latest version of MyDirect .NET is 4.85.35. You can download it from http://devart.com/mysqlnet/download.html (Trial Edition) or from Registered User's Area (for Subscription program members only).

I am running the latest version of MyDirect as you have suggested. The DataSet Manager is always empty, regardless of what I do....

We have sent you our test project. Please check, if there are any DataSets in your DataSet Manager after opening it in your Visual Studio 2008.
