+1  Q: 

Is there a way for me to show DataSet visualizer in application?

I notice when I'm debugging in Visual Studio 2005+ - if I hover a DataSet, DataTable or XML object there is an option for a visualizer. In this case I have a DataSet, so I get the DataSet visualizer which gives me a window with ComboBox to choose which DataTable to view and automatically displays all the contents.

Is there a way for me to pop this window from my actual application? I am creating an administrative application and would like to have a raw view like this available without building it.

Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of, but building your own and databinding it to the dataset should be simple enough.

Thank you. Yes, was just salivating thinking I could do a ShowVisualizerDialog(Dataset ds);

Probably not without shipping some components of Visual Studio; rolling your own from a DataGridView / ComboBox with a little Databinding should be easy enough though :)

Just bind the DataTable to the DataGridView, and you're done...
