Is there some way to tap into the methods used by vstudio to generate
strongly typed datasets? Whatever the DataAdapter designer uses when you
right click an adapter and select "Generate Dataset"......

We're doing some generation tailored to our own uses but really don't want
to re-invent the wheel here. The datasets as generated for the adapters are
great and we'd like to keep using them.

OK, I've dug into VS BOL and found this:

System.Data.Design.TypedDataSetGenerator.Generate

The synopsis says it returns a string - the strongly typed dataset (I'm
*a.s*uming the csharp code since I provided a CSharpCodeProvider parm). I
guess I'm missing something here cause all I get is a string with
"NewDataSet" in it. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong here???
