Typde Untyped DataSet

Question

Hii All...
I still less be clear with real implementation of dataset in VB.
Basically, we can make dataset  through Visual (template) and programmatically.
When I using Visual, I can chosen typed or untyped.
Then how with programmatically? If I create dataset programmatically, is named typed or untyped?
What the especial characteristic to differentiate both?

Please help me,
Thank's

If you normaly create a DataSet in code it is untyped. However it is possible to create a typed DataSet using the XSD-tool. What this tool does for you is generate the the code for your typed Dataset based on a XML-file you provide. 

The output of the XSD-tool is a codefile (.vb or .cs), which can be compiled and used in your application.
