Sorry I can't find a VS2005 group so here goes...

Is it possible to visually edit the TableMappings of the underlying
DataAdapter of a TableAdapter??

This is possible to do for a simple DataAdapter using the properties window
when exposed on the simple component designer. I can resort to the
DataAdapter object but the ability to generate code for the FillBy and
GetDataBy methods is attractive, however it would be nice to be able to
easily abstract away ugly Database column names by use of the TableMapping
object.

I have tried to expose the underlying DataAdapter of the TableAdapter by
creating my own property with the Browsable codeattribute set but the DataSet
Designer seems impervious to my efforts to get my custom property to show in
the properties window.
This seems a step backward in configurability of a new fairly useful object.

Also is there an easier way to view/edit the xsd (ie xml source) of the
dataset in any of the dataset designers. I can't find an obvious xml tab,
only the view code, view designer options.
The open with... option provides some relief, but what happened to 'context
sensitive', an xsd is xml so why not have a 'view schema' or 'view xml'
option.
Are the VS2005 team trying to take the accessibility of XML out of dotnet :0).

Any tips would be much appreciated.
