 Enterprise .NET Community: Build a Data Access Layer with the Visual Studio 2005 DataSet Designer
You can accomplish almost anything with a typed data set that you can with a custom business entity, but some things may be a little less clean with a typed data set if the things you are trying to do don’t map well to the relational nature of a typed data set.
One of the biggest wins in using typed data sets in Visual Studio 2005 is the fact that it also generates a table adapter class, which is like a typed data adapter, for each table in the data set.
In this code we are actually extending both the typed data set class and the typed data table class, which we have to do since the table type is a nested type inside the typed data set type.

This is Christopher's 17th time designing the Oscar set, and this year, he calls it a "no-holds-barred return to classic Hollywood glamour, paying homage to old movie theaters." It's opulent, retro and a reminder of why the awards have endured since that first banquet May 16, 1929.
The design incorporates marquees, a small stylized box office, rotating posters, and three screens, one which looks like it belongs in a movie palace, another resembling a 1950s CinemaScope holdover and a third providing a downstage canvas on which clips and scenic elements will be projected.
