Yes, your understanding is correct.
Somewhere in the source files I need to document the tables, relationships
and attributes of the dataset using xmldoc comments.
As you state, the DataSet class source code is auto-generated without
preserving changes. I understand this behaviour is by design, but where
does Microsoft recommend I put my entity-relationship documentation, without
having to put together a completely seperate document. One could argue that
ER documentation should be happening seperately because it's really the
database layer, however DataSets can have many client-side calculated fields
or extra fields to store query result sets with server side calculated or
aggregated columns...
Somewhere I need to document the mapping between a DataTable's fields and
the database tables. It seems that I can't do this without creating a
seperate document.

Hi Tolga,
First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to preserve xml comments in
the typed DataSet class. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel
free to let me know.
As far as I know, it is not recommended to add xml comments in the typed
DataSet class. Because the code for that class is auto-genearated by
xsd.exe. If you made any changes to the schema, the class will be
re-generated and the comments will be lost. This behavior is by design.
