Typed DataSet string and null value

[Brian Keating]

hi there,
has anyone come across this?

i've a typed dataset with a table and a column of type string.
I want to insert a new row and for some reason i keep getting "Null" in my
dataset.

take a simple exply of person
Name:string
Comment:string
age:int
so i create a new row
PersonRow newRow = ds.PersonTable.NewPersonRow();
then i set the values
newRow.Name = "brian";
newRow.Age = 29;
newRow.Comment = null;
newRow.SetCommentNull();

ds.PersonTable.Add(newRow);

......BUT it has added the string "Null" to my row not the Value null

Can anyone explain this? or offer a solution?

thanks in advance
