I try to generate a typed result set. I first added a new data source to my project and then changed the custom tool property of the .xsd file from MSDataSetGenerator to MSResultSetGenerator. This was working a few days ago, but recently, it stopped working. I now get the following error when I right click on my .xsd and then "run custom tool":
Error 102 Custom tool error: Failed to generate code. Illegal characters in path. C:\Users\Mathias\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication9\WindowsApplication9\NorthwindDataSet1.xsd 1 1 WindowsApplication9
I tried this in several projects, for example I created a new WinForms project and then just added the norhwind.sdf sample database.
I use Visual Studio 2005 + SP1 + SP1 Vista patch (beta) + SQL Compact Edition + ADO .NET Sync Services CTP on Vista Ultimate.
Things I tried to repair this so far:
- VS2005 repair setup
- Reinstalled SQL Compact Edition
- Reinstalled ADO .NET Sync Services
- Reinstalled VS2005 SP1
I have the same problem and it seems that when I try to generate the data source with an empty sql mobile database it works.
When I add tables to the database it does not.
This suggest to me that it must have something to do with the naming conventions of the database tables and/or fields. I'm trying that next.
Did you make any progress? Please report
|||Just as a thought - have you tried running VS2005 as administrator and see if you have the same issue. Be warned VS2005 under Vista is still not officially supported as they haven't released the update yet - the beta fixes some, but definitely not all the Vista related issues.|||Thanks, but I'm already running VS as admin.|||Mathias - I now have the same configuration with you and I am experiencing the same issues. It appears the updates do not play well with the designer (at least under Vista).|||Thanks for testing this. Looks like I have to wait for the final VS Vista upgrade or use it in a VPC with XP.
