A while ago I noticed I don't have a magnifying-glass next to my datatables. I used to have it, and somehow, sometime, it disappeared...
Has anyone seen this happen? Do you know how to help me view my datatables again?
Update: I'm still clueless about this. Could anyone point me in some direction, where should I even start looking for an answer? Thanks a lot.
Update: I changed to a new computer, and still the same problem. But I pinpointed it to being only in Visual Studio 2005. On Visual Studio 2008 I have perfectly normal DataSet and Datatable visualizers. So I tried re-installing VS2005, to make sure all the components were installed, nothing left out - but Nada. Still no visualizer.
Update: Found the solution to my problem: My answer

To use it, break into your code, mouse over your DataSet, expand the quick watch, view the Tables, expand that, then view Table[0] (for example).
The DataSet Visualizer allows you to view the contents of a DataSet, DataTable, DataView, or DataViewManager object. You can access this visualizer by clicking on the magnifying glass icon that appears next to the Value for one of those objects in a debugger variables window or in a DataTip.
A VS Code extension for visualizing data structures while debugging. Like the VS Code's watch view, but with rich visualizations of the watched value.
I was really bothered by the problem, so I turned to Microsoft support, and they solved my problem! The short solution is that apparently one of the DLL's in the My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Visualizers folder was corrupted. I deleted all the contents of the folder, and the visualizer came back.
The long answer can be found in this post written by Faruk Celik - the person from Microsoft who solved my problem.
