>>We are using typed data sets and the original developers used and are still using the first method. Since I read an article about the 2nd method only about 3 weeks ago, I use the second. I'm going to have to use this thread to educate our team.<
Hard to believe they'd go through the trouble of using Typed DataSets, but not use the syntax available for them. Hopefully they'll see that this way is better. =)
