ADO.NET in a Nutshell

codegen Namespace

The codegen namespace gives you fine-grained control of a typed DataSet. By adding codegen attributes, you can configure the names that are used for methods, properties, relations, and constraints. When using the codegen namespace, it should be imported as shown:

<xs:schema id="DataSetName" xmlns="" 

    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata"

    xmlns:codegen="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msprop" >

Warning

codegen attributes configure the names used in strongly typed DataSet objects. They do not have any effect on the functionality of the generated DataSet class.

Table B-1 indicates where the various codegen attributes can be used and what they accomplish. Table B-2 briefly describes each attribute.
