Creating Typed Datasets - member names cannot be the same as their enclosing type
Web Dev, posted: 8-May-2006 13:24
Using typed datasets in .net 2.0 is meant to be vastly improved over .net 1.1, in terms of performance at least. So I've decided to give them a go, which allows me to use the ObjectDataSource instead of the SQLDataSource (a more extensible archi

Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to uniqueidentifier is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query
Web Dev, posted: 26-Apr-2006 14:59
