I've created a strongly typed DataSet (Customers.xsd) using the xsd.exe
tool. I want to be able to access fields using
ds.Customer[0].CompanyName.

The problem is when I return this DataSet from a Web Service it adds
another Table to the DataSet that contains the data. I have to access
the data using ds.Tables[1].Rows[0]["CompanyName"].ToString(). This
defeats the whole purpose of using a strongly typed DataSet.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Could you post the proxy code (i.e. reference.cs) generated when adding a
reference to your webservice?
