Joe,

Here's some information from the upcoming MM .NET Dev Guide:

Easy Access to Typed DataRows
When a business object retrieves data it automatically stores the first DataRow of the resulting DataSet into its DataRow property. When you use strongly typed DataSets you can add a property to your business object that provides easy access to a strongly typed version of the DataRow.

For example, in C#:

public EmployeeDataSet.EmployeesRow EmployeeRow
{
	get	
	{ 
		return (EmployeeDataSet.EmployeesRow)this.DataRow; 
	}
}

And in VB .NET:

Public ReadOnly Property EmployeeRow() As EmployeeDataSet.EmployeesRow
   Get
      Return CType(Me.DataRow, EmployeeDataSet.EmployeesRow)
   End Get
End Property

So, you could create a property that references this strongly typed DataRow. For example:

public string FirstName
{
   get { return this.EmployeeRow.FirstName; }
   set { this.EmployeeRow.FirstName = value; }
}
