two questions

1) i try to implement this feature (with borland 2005 c#) and i was not able to attach the dataAdapter to the dataset (cant't create a typed dataset) in the form.

2) i'm not sure the interest of using adonet, because with borland a solution seem's to be really interresting as the BDP (just changing the connection string, add an assembly for the database provider and you can use has well firebird, mysql, ... without any change in the code.
