Dataset for whole project?

[slwolf8]

I want to load 5 tables into a dataset using the fillschema method on 5 data adapters. I want to use fillschema so that I can have all necessary tables in the dataset with relationships. I need multiple tables in there so that I can create dataviews to attach to the dataset (using data from more than one table). If I create a typed dataset (using the generate dataset option in the designer) on my first page, can I use that dataset on new pages that I create?

Also, I usually tend to believe that doing something directly in code is better than using a wizard (ie you have more control). If I do this though I am unable to customize a datagrid using the property builder. Is it generally "ok" to use the designer to fill the dataset? I mean will this provide me all the flexibility that I need? Is there a reason I should do it in code instead?

Thanks.

Like you say code gives you more control and a lot less overhead. I never use the designer to fill a dataset. And yes that means you have to type more.
