Shawn Wildermuth aka
ADO guy has a great book
on ADO.Net called
Pragmatic ADO.Net.
It's a definite must read for anyone involved in ADO.Net
programming, i have been working with ADO.Net for over a year
and yet the book taught me so much, a definite buy. Also i
recently used the
ADO.Net powertoys
to generate my typed datasets. That works great too. Basically
the problem is that the methods that the normal typed dataset
generator generates are not virtual so if you override the
typed dataset then it only hides the base class methods. The
ADO power tools has a Typed Dataset generator that defines the
methods as virtual and offers other customization abilities.
Other than that it has a Utility library of DB functions and a
stored procedure generator.

don't use it. It has bugs which have not been fixed for
2 years. It is not being maintained. Check the bug
tracker. There are fixes for bugs posted by users 18
months ago, and the source code has not been checked in.
Just another dead project.
I'm using it on my current project and thus far haven't
experienced any bugs of significance.
