Hello again. Hopefully just another newbie question, but I am having issues when using the Parent/Child databind of a DataSet to the Web Menu control. I originally bound it to a DataSet with 3 tables, each representing a level/sub-level of the menu, and binding each table to each level individually (too long an explanation as to why). That worked fine, and still works if I revert to that code.
BUT, I have since tried to change the binding to a parent/child Dataset; however, when the menu is generated, it has only a single link in the menu, which is:
System.Data.DataViewManagerListItemTypeDescriptor
No errors are reported on the page. I have generated the DataSet both from a database and manually (to troubleshoot) but, again, to no avail. Any ideas??
Thanks.

Hi Rod, Check the DataRelations in your DataSet. You can find more information about how to bind to a DataSet at here: http://www.essentialobjects.com/ViewDoc.aspx?t=MenuCommon%2fDataBinding%2fpopulate_dataset.htmlThe same code is available in the sample project. So you may want to load that and compare to locate the difference. Thanks

Solved. However, it wasn't the DataRelation, though I appreciate the response and suggestion. I had copied that code originally.
As it turns out, I have an xml column in my dataset and, due to other processing in my app, had set the SqlDataAdapter to ReturnProviderSpecificTypes. Once I set that back to false (I'll re-work the "other" code) the menu started working.
