How to check whether a dataset is strongly typed or not?

When I'm debugging a Windows Forms Application in VS2005 IDE, how can I check
whether a dataset is strongly typed or not in Watch window? Are there some
properties or methods only exist for strongly typed dataset?

A strongly typed dataset has field descriptors and datatypes asociated with
it, a "Weak, Untyped " dataset must be accessed with field indexes (
accessible by position number, or field name ) and all field values are of
the object type and must be casted to the right datatypes

Hi Michel,

Thanks. I believe you're saying that the objects and collections of
untyped dataset need to be accessed with field indexes. So far, I only find
column value being object type.

We have an object factory that returns weakly typed datasets (just plain ol' DataSet's). I need to cast it, or transform it, or map it to a strongly typed dataset. There's an old adage I heard from a Microsoft developer a long time ago: If it's taking more than 10 lines of code, then you are doing it wrong. Is there an *easy* way to do this in a *generic* way? I have been experimenting with serveral techniques and

Hi! How do I explore in code, which properties (columns) are in a datatable? I need to run some code for each column. I guess the answer is reflection somehow, but I dont know where to start. If someone could point me to a relevant example, I would be most grateful. :)

I'm writing an winforms app in vb.net 1.1 and am having trouble referencing a strongly typed dataset in the UI project. The dataset's source is behind a web service and the data project (client side) gets a reference to the dataset schema and all that comes with strongly typing a dataset via a reference to the web service. The business tier which depends on the data tier and also imports the namespace of the data project can reference...

Hello I developed and tested a web application using VS.NET 2003, VB, .NET Framework 1.1.4322, ASP.NET 1.1.4322 and IIS5.1. It uses a web form. I used the XML Designer to create an XML .XSD Schema to produce a Dataset. In looking for a way to start adding data to the dataset programmatically, i found this method in just about every thing i read.

I'm a bit puzzled by the current recommendation not to send Datasets or Datatables between application tiers. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306134 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996381.aspx Formerly, with classic Microsoft DNA architecture, the ADO Recordset was a primary transport medium, recommended for transmitting data between application tiers. In fact, there are whole books written on the subject.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
