What is a "strongly typed dataset"?

I have seen this mentioned several times, but I have not yet found a
comprehensive definition for the term. One reference that I saw indicated
that intellisense would work better with such a beast, but with no
explanation of how or why.

Makes a dataset type-specific with relationships and key enforcement by way
of an .XSD you build that gets converted into a class. Personally, I find
it to be an interim solution until ObjectSpaces comes out (and right now, I
really, really hate the things, due to errors occurring with any kind of
heriarchy going on, failed parent deletions with no errors, attempts at
getting BeginEdit/EndEdit to not throw the errors failing, lack of any real
help with the stuff). I mean, it's nice if you can say "Delete this object
and have the system automatically delete any related records," but I can't
get it to work myself (but then, one of my tables relates to itself, so
maybe that's the problem) Either way, I find the information on them to be
too lacking to be considered a "solution" in the sense that ObjectSpaces, as
a true framework, would be; it's more of a workaround that brings its own
sets of headaches.
