>>>I created a folder (in the application folder of VS 2012) Data_sets (so my directory tree is now App_Name\Data_Sets. Then I copy dataset file MyDataSet.xsd to the folder Data_Sets. Then I add an existing item (Data Set) to the Project. So in the VS tree I see the folder Data_sets and the dataset MyDataSet. But how do I use this dataset in the code? For example, the following does not work:

>>>MyDataSet dstMyData;

>>IIRC when you create any file in a sub-folder then, by default, the folder name is appended to the namespace so in your case the Dataset namespace would be ......Data_sets.MyDataSet. If you don't want that to happen then, after creating the folder open its Properties window and set 'NameSpaceProvider' to false.

I would still use the namespaces - if you don't you'll end up with a mess
