Tell me, are you using Typed Datasets in large projects or databases owned by others? How are you managing schema changes? And how many tables per typed dataset? TIA. Yes...yes.....in VS2003 you could subclass the typed DS, in VS2005 you can use partial classes (as perry also mentioned)...a C# utility to generate the schema (many who are serious about it usually roll their own solution)....it depends, often times more than one, especially for complex reports.
