Answer 1

If I understand your problem, you were adding code to the ".Designer.cs". That file is an auto-generated file. Every time you re-save the XSD file, the designer.cs file will be regenerated. You should never add content to a designer.cs file. If you need to add functionality to the dataset, you can extend the dataset by making a "partial" class in a different file using the same namespace that you find in the generated file.
