Once again, Scott Guthrie posted some more highly informative ASP.NET 2.0 information; this post being the first in a series featuring typed datasets.
Many people groan at the thought of using typed datasets because ‘purists’ feel that using them generates a lot of unnecessary code (among other things which I won’t discuss here.) While this may be true, they are very useful for creating a very quick-n-dirty data access layer with almost no need to write SQL or ADO code. In addition, getting ‘free’ strongly typed code (intellisense = good) makes me think that typed datasets are well worth looking at!
