Binding controls to typed data sets

In C# code, I would like to bind a column in a typed data set row to
an edit box (or other control) without having to use a string literal
for the column name.

For example, the following works:

TypedDataSet.TableRow row;
editBox.DataBindings.Add("EditValue", row, "col_name");

However, the above is not type safe and I cannot use autocompletion so
have to muck around to get the column name. For example, if col_name
is mistyped, or the typed data set no longer has this column then the
code will still compile.

What I would prefer to say would be something like:

editBox.DataBindings.Add("EditValue", row, row.col_name.GetName() );

Where GetName would return the string "col_name"
