Hi friends,

Could you please tell me or assist me to get a suitable link describing the
difference between strong typed objects [datasets] and ordinay objects ?
[datasets]

Thanks in Advance

Emmanuel Mathew
 
The Strongly Typed Dataset has an XML Schema describing the data. While you
can go much deeper than this, the schema is the difference. Using the
schema, you can make sure someone does not stick a alpha character into a
numeric field. With non-typed datasets, you do not have the same control.

Strongly typed datasets are defined at development - you can build them via
the IDE or running xsd.exe. Anyway, they give you much better performance
and intellisense support. HOwever they aren't very flexible since they are
already compiled. As such, you may need to use untyped datasets if you
don't know the structure of the query in advance. This

should help you b/c it addresses the issue in depth a little more, but let
me know if you have any questions.

HTH,

Bill
