I'm not a big fan of typed dataset. There is no way that I can improve the performance using typed dataset. Its purely a wrapper over the existing database objects. I cannot consider the access like employee.empName. Casting is still done in the wrapper. Another overhead is huge chunk of code. LOC is increased. So many active objects in memory. No automatic update of schema. In any way typed dataset is not useful for developers except the comfort that it gives. As a developers we don't have any right to demand for comfort :) Take the pain...take the pain out of user :)
