>>On your last question, that can (and has) been addressed before, it's really independent of whether someone is using sprocs or not.
You'd better tell me again in that case... data to backend from typed dataset, SP vs non-SP for change tracking/management?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
