Typed DataSets with XML Data Sources and Schemas

I wrote an XML schema file by hand (not using the DataSet constructor in VS) and a corresponding XML file containing structured data to read.

I ran the xsd.exe program to create the class Typed DataSet

; overall it looks good from the start (ignoring how it uses lowercase for the public members of the class), but when it comes to using the generated class, nothing happens:

MyDataSet set = new MyDataSet();
set.ReadXml( "myData.xml" );

      

        
        
        
      

    

At this point, all typed members of the class table MyDataSet

have .Count

of 0.

Oddly enough, I cannot work normally DataSets

:

DataSet set = new DataSet();
set.ReadXmlSchema("mySchema.xsd");
set.ReadXml( "myData.xml");

      

        
        
        
      

    

set.Tables.Count

returns 7 which is correct, but all tables are empty.

Am I missing something obvious?

UPDATE:

After absolutely nothing set.Tables["extra"].Rows.Count

returns the correct number of rows; but when I use a typed dataset, it doesn't work, even though everything else is the same:

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml( packageExamplePath );

System.Console.WriteLine( ds.Tables["extra"].Rows.Count );

Package st = new Package();
st.ReadXml( packageExamplePath );

System.Console.WriteLine( st.Tables["extra"].Rows.Count );

      

        
        
        
      

    

... prints this to the console:

nineteen
