Typed DataSet Vs Un-Typed DataSet

[meinhunna]

I. Could some please throw some light on Typed and Un-Typed DataSet. Have gone through couple of articles but still confused. Also, which one is better to use?

II. Also I going through a form developed by a team member. Apparently he has created couple of DataSet’s at design time. I am not used to this practice and always initialize them at run time. Is there any benefit of creating them at design time?

Please help. Thanks

There was a great article I read once almost a year ago that dealt with the (dis)advantages of Typed Datasets. I can't remember enough of it to give you any details though.

As for 2, The only advantage I know of is that it looks pretty and you can bind a crystal report to them at design time. I am a strong opponent of binding data to the GUI though, so I personally would advise against it.
