TableAdapter requires connection string??
Is it just me or is it extremely short sighted that I can design a large type dataset and manipulate one in memory then save to some source (XML), yet when I want to design a query that taps into that dynamic dataset, the designer requires me to have a connection string to an existing database, *but that's entirely dynamic and no file even exists before the user creates one*.

The use case of the dataset is document-like, where the dataset is used to store information created by the user and saved to an XML file. Therefore I cannot possibly know where the connection is to.

Am I missing something here or do I really have to manually query the dataset because of this? I thought creating a query would just tap into the runtime dataset itself...
