typed and untyped datasets?

In typed datasets tables have names that are not code literals, but which are known by intellisense part of visual studio, same for datarows and datacolumns and datarelations I think. These are known by name to intellisense as are their properties and you can use them as code constructs like classes and methods. Untyped, you use string literals to relate to things like tables and relations and datacolumns. There is a method for generating strongly typed dataset schemas. Look up the terms in visual studio's help->search facility, which you should get used to using all the time.
