Perry,

I wouldn't say there are many shortcomings in 1.1 with Typed DataSets. I've been using them just fine, although I'm sure that I haven't used them to their fullest potential.

I'm not sure why default table names are/were an issue ... you can name the tables anything you want in your .xsd and that's what you'll get in the generated Typed DataSet. Where tablenames become an issue is when you're returning data back from a Stored Proc ... your tables will be named table, Table1, Table2 etc ... that's got nothing to do with whether or not you're filling a regular DataSet or a Typed DataSet.
