Visual Studio generates errors when using a DataSet with SQL server 2019

Question

Hi everyone I am following a course to learn .NET based Visual Studio and SQL Server.
Unfortunately, the versions featured are earlier than SQL Server 2019 and Visual Studio 2022 which were the ones available when I started.
I am working on a Dataset and a Table adapter and all was fine, connections ok and so on, but when I open the Data Source window my data source is not available and the window shows “This window is not supported for the selected object” message.
If I try to run the application I get a bunch of errors like this
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error BC30002 Type 'Global.System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' is not defined. market_app2 C:\DEV Visual Studio\Repos\market_app2_sn\market_app2\Dataset\Goods_ds.Designer.vb 827 Active

Referring to the following portion of code, which is automatically generated. Can anyone help me? What can I do to solve this? I am stuck !
