Datasets in Whidbey (Beta 2) contain a namespace property suggesting
that it is possible to web enable them.
However, it seems very difficult to do this. Take the following
scenario
3 projects in a solution
WidgetWindows (a windows application)
WidgetLibrary (a project containing datasets)
WidgetWebservice (a webservice project referencing the Library)
It is possible and, very convenient to build windows forms using
datasets from the library project, supposing that the windows project
references the library, in fact, the datasets appear in the toolbox
when designing forms and, may be dragged onto the form designer. It
seems the logical next step to retrieve and save the data on the
windows forms by way of a webservice that also references the library.
But no matter which way you slice this problem you seem to end up with
the issue the datasets being recongnized in different namespaces in the
webservice assembly and the windows assembly and thus causing
compilation errors such as
Cannot convert from 'WidgetLibrary.WidgetDataSet' to
'WidgetWebservice.WidgetDataSet'
Several other posts have brought up this problem, but each time it
seems that replies refer the original post back to this article

This post, for example is the exact issue that seems to have no
solution

Can anyone shed light on this issue? It seems like it would be a
common issue.
Thanks
