>>Prior to creating the typed DataSet, I was simply calling the DataSet.ReadXMLSchema() method to load the schema. If I were to continue with this approach rather than using the typed DataSet, is it possible to complile the schema into the DLL and still read it, as opposed to providing the schema as an external file?<Good question ... and one that I haven't tried. We include the .xsd files in our DataSet classes, but we don't use the .ReadXMLSchema() at all, so I'm not sure if it would work that way or not. I know a good way to find out though .... <g>
