Hi Wolfmail,

really?

In C#, dragging a DataSet onto a Form, or any IComponent for that matter,
always sets the modifier to private by default.  I can't see why "Friend"
should be the default for a DataSet.

The user can always select the component on the designer and use the
property grid to change the access modifier at design-time if they wish.

HTH

Here is a Component Designer that would set access modifier to internal (C#)
for newly added components:

   class DemoComponentDesigner : ComponentDesigner
   {
       protected override void
PostFilterProperties(System.Collections.IDictionary properties)
       {
           base.PostFilterProperties(properties);
           modifiersPropertyDescriptor =
(PropertyDescriptor)properties["Modifiers"];
       }

       public override void
InitializeNewComponent(System.Collections.IDictionary defaultValues)
       {
           base.InitializeNewComponent(defaultValues);
           modifiersPropertyDescriptor.SetValue(Component,
System.CodeDom.MemberAttributes.Assembly);
       }

       PropertyDescriptor modifiersPropertyDescriptor;
   }

To associate this designer with your component add Designer attribute to
your component:
   [Designer(typeof(DemoComponentDesigner))]
   public partial class DemoComponent : Component
   {
    ...
   }

Good luck,
