I have genearated a Typed DataSet in a C# project and am able to use it in
the from designer (I can drop a dataset Object from tool box and Set its
DataSetName Property this typed dataset very normally)

my Question is:

Can I share this typed dataset with other projects in solution so I can use
in their form designer?
the reason I need this is
I guess regerating a Type in another project (Assembly) actually makes a new
type that is not considered the same by the .Net Runtime(even if the
definition is exactly the same)

You could create a new DLL project that exposes the DataSet object and then
add a reference to that DLL to your other projects.

Thanks,

Matt
