You dont :-) In addition Im not a big fan of typed DB data anyway. Datasets are strickly designed to work with relational databases. RelationalOO and OO DB's are not mainstream yet - they still loose out in a big way to their relational brothers. These are growing and these fit in perfectly with what your doing . Note I am not changing datasets just building a cache , a compressor , autoupdater and autoDbaccesslayer.
I have worked on a few projects which used strong datatypes ( not .NET ) when a dataType was added or changes you had to change 1000's of line of code. After this I gave up strong typing for handling database data.. For those reading that doesnt mean your program should refer to everything as Object or void* its just the DB data . I have used some code in the client cache which converts an untype dataset to a typedataset , but the benefits of typing here are not worth the extra time to code and maintain in. Nevertheless I have done it soemtimes because it looks "neat". Ben -----Original Message----- From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

I mean, a typed dataset is typed, or? No subtypes per table depending on data. Regards Thomas Tomiczek THONA Consulting Ltd.
