I'm trying to create a typed dataset in my asp.net project in VS2005 by
following the instructions from the Help (copied below).

The issue is that I do not see a data menu in VS2005.  I can only see the
data menu if I expand the Server panel and then expand my SQL Server.  Then i
see a data menu but it does not have the choices below.  It has choices only
for managing the SQL database like creating tables etc.

What's up with VS2005?

Creating Typed Datasets with the Data Source Configuration Wizard or with
the Dataset Designer
To create a dataset with the Data Source Configuration Wizard
On the Data menu, click Add New Data Source to start the Data Source
Configuration Wizard.

Select Database on the Choose a Data Source Type page.

Complete the wizard and a typed dataset is added to your project. For more
information, see Data Source Configuration Wizard.

To create a dataset with the Dataset Designer
On the Project menu, click Add New Item.

Select DataSet from the Add New Item dialog box.

Type a name for the dataset.

Click Add.

The dataset is added to the project and opens in the Dataset Designer.

Drag items from the DataSet tab of the Toolbox onto the designer. For more
information, see How to: Edit a Dataset.

-or-

Drag items from an active connection in Server Explorer/Database Explorer
onto the Dataset Designer.

On the Right side of the screen, at the bottom of Solution Explorer, there are two tabs, Solution Explorer and Data Sources,
Clicking on the Data Sources Tab, opens a page that says" Your project currently has no data sources associated with it. Add a
new data source, then data-bind items by dragging them from this window onto forms or existing controls.  Then in Blue and
underlined: Add New Data Source...
And there you go!!

That's not showing there.

However, this appears to be related to the fact I'm working on an ASP.NET
project.  If I open up a windows form project, the Data menu does show.

Does this mean that for ASP.NET i can't use a typed dataset?

Sorry Robert, I am not that familar with ASP.NET so I cannot answer that question.
You might post your questions at this link:   http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/default.aspx?SiteID=1

Those forums seem to cover everything to do with Visual Studio 2005.
Or check out the last post at the bottom of this page: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=62924&SiteID=1

I think that one may get you where you want to go.
Good luck

Thanks.  That last one helped me figure it out.  You have do chose Add New
item and then dataset when working with a web project.
