Does anyone have an idea how I could add extra column information, like a second "name" property, to a typed dataset?
I'm working on a mechanism to log changes made to a dataset, by looping through each table, calling GetChanges(), and then looping through each column and logging when a change has been made to that column's data. However, I would like to provide a more user-friendly name for the columns (a string would suffice).
Given a column description like: <xs:element name="id_customer" type="xs:int" />
I would like to change it to (for example) <xs:element name="id_customer" friendlyname="The customer's unique identification number" type="xs:int" />
But I get a compiler error: "The 'friendlyname' attribute is not supported in this context."
Any ideas (both localizable and non-localizable welcome)?
