>>1) Yes, that is a typed dataset.

>>2) I believe Bonnie creates a new project for all of her datasets (if I understood what she told me correctly). So far most of my applications haven't had many datasets, so I played around with a few ideas of where to put my datasets. I started with putting them in my data class, but then I had to reference my data project from my UI projects. I have since created a project called "Common" and used this namespace for my datasets: MyCompany.MyApp.Common.Datasets.

>>I had problems figuring out how to specify a namespace for my ST dataset in VS.NET 2003. If you change them right in the class code, it will revert back to the default if you make a change to the dataset. The dataset should have a Custom Tool Namespace property, and that is where the namespace should be set. I don't know if this is different in 2005.

>Thank you for your input. Things are still muddy in my mind as to how to create and use styped dataset. I have to actually create one or two typed datasets to get a better "feel" for it and then to see where they belong better. I use VS 2005 but I don't know how it improved from VS 2003 as to namespaces.

Think of them as just a collection class on roids that have a nice GUI designer attached to them.
