SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. In a Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0-based project, you create a DataTable object for the dataset that you want to edit. You create a column in the DataTable object. You set the DateType property of the column to System.DateTime. Then, you set the DateTimeMode property of the column to Unspecified.

In this scenario, the code for the DateTimeMode setting is not automatically generated. If you manually add the code, the code disappears after you edit the dataset.
