Visual Studio won't update properties of my Data Source

Question

I am using my class "Invoice" as a Data Source. But after adding more properties to it, Visual Studio refuses to refresh the data source and I can't find the new properties in my data source.

Tried restarting project, deleting and adding object as datasource again. Did not work.

Answer 1

Problem was Intellisense going out of date due to changes in the Data Source.

Solution was to simply to rebuild the project.

Answer 2

OMGKurtNilsen is right:

You don't need to delete and re-create the datasource - a project rebuild will do!

I tested it with a datasource in a VS 2010 project, that takes its data from a simple C# object.

Answer 3

Are you using any source control ? also, .datasource file gets created under Properties folder, try to remove and re-add the object by opening Data Sources tab.

also your new properties in Invoice should have access modifiers (at least { get;} ) otherwise it might not show up AFAIK.

Answer 4

This what you should do.

Refresh the Data Source, Remove the entity and Add it back in before it would change.

Answer 5

That problem ocurrs in report designer where use data source object, when i add or remove a property in my class and i refresh the data source in data panel on report data sources, this don't show last changes. I resolved adding reference to Microsoft.CShart assembly. You could try this to resolve you problem.

Answer 6

如果将数据源和表单元素保存在不同的类库中，有时您必须重建类库，这种情况主要发生在以静态方式绑定引用时。
