How to get the old typed dataset

This is exactly what I have been doing and gives me a dataset bloated with a lot of stuff like data adapters, queries to update/delete/insert to data tables, connection strings, etc. The old typed dataset did not have all this stuff. The data adaptors were an optional item that one could add later but that I do not use since I have all my CRUD stored procedures already made and I use SQLhelper class for data access layer.

If I configure the resulting dataadapters in the advanced tab I can suppress the queries but still the program does not compile because InitConnection looks for a connection string in the settings that I do not have because I do not need it.

I wish MS offered two ways of creating a typed dataset: the old 1.1 way for those who need it and the new heavy dataset for those who like it.

Thanks,

Luis,

We wrote a little utility program that would connect to the database, execute whatever StoredProc you told it to execute, and then take the result set and do a DataSet.WriteXmlSchema() to create our .xsd files. Pretty easy.

That error doesn't ring a bell, Luis. I wasn't able to cause that problem in the small sample app I created. If you can provide steps to reproduce the problem, I might be able to figure out the cause of the problem.
