Dmitry,

We use both Business Objects and Typed DataSets. As I mentioned in my reply to Dave's post, there is a big difference between DataSets and Typed DataSets and the article he mentioned was saying that using DataSets was not good. And I agree with that ... Typed DataSets are infinitely preferable. They can be further sub-classed to put in some additional functionality if you need to (but I wouldn't go overboard with too much stuff).

The way we do it, the business-type logic is in the biz classes, but everything passes around Typed DataSets between the "layers" (data access layer to biz layer to Web Service to UI and back again). I was looking around for some good URLs on the subject, but the best I can suggest is to just do a Google on "Typed DataSets" and see what you can find.
