convert untyped datatable/dataset into strongly typed


Hello,
I am trying to create a strongly typed datatable/dataset from an untyped
dataset or datatable returned from a stored proc.

The structure of the table cannot be static since the results are
dynamic which means that I am right now creating the schema/structure of
the datatable from a datareader using reader.GetSchem aTable() and then
looping thru the reader to populate values.

Is there any other efficient way of achieving this? GetSchemaTable( ) is
another round-trip to the DB that I am trying to avoid.

Thanks in advance

Hi Somebody,

Since your stored proc returns you various schemas there is no way you could
do it fully automatically.
You'll have to create a strong typed dataset per result at design time.
BTW, you don't need GetSchemaTable to retrieve data.

Hello all. I have noticed that when I generate a strongly-typed dataset from an xml schema that the DataTables that are generated have their constructors marked as internal. What this means is when I try to instantiate one of the strongly-typed tables from this dataset from a different assembly, I cannot. Let me provide examples... If I have a simple dataset like this:

Hi, I have a method, which opens a connection, creates an untyped datable, fills it and returns it back. I have defined a typed datatable in my application as well. For some reasons, I have to call the above mentioned method to get data. Unfortunately, as it returns an untyped datatable, I can't assign my typed datatable variable this value (a base type can't be converted into a sub type automatically). Without resorting to looping thru...

I noticed that I was getting performance issues when I referenced a strongly typed dataset using untyped references. When I changed my code to only use strongly typed references the performance was snappy. Why might this be the case? Seems like it should work either way. I am also using this dataset in a datagrid reference. Could the databinding be involved somehow?

Hi, I wonder about performerce comparision between these two types of DataSets. Are benefits of typed DataSets enought to beat speed of untyped ones? Or it doesn't matter? What do you think? Przemo

I've always used untyped datasets. In a Microsoft course, it walks through creating typed datasets and harps on the benefits. It has you drag all these things around ..wizard, wizard, wizard... code gen, code gen, code gen. What's at the end looks slick, but then there's a ton of generated code that I'm going to have to maintain now. I.e. I like typing things myself (don't like wizards) so I can know exactly what I've done.

Hello As a known issue, WCF does not allow to transfer typed DataSet. So I have to copy all data from typed DataSet to untyped DataSet(same table names, column names and row data). What is the most efficient way to do that? I tried to remove DataTable from typed one then add to untyped one, but I tell me it is forbidden to remove tables from typed DataSet. Thanks zlf
