Hi Vineet, Typed DataSet has a Xml schema and an Untyped DataSet donot have Xml schema. We can insert additional columns in the type dataset but in untype we can't insert additional columns here. Please refer the below link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8bw9ksd6%28v=vs.71%29.aspx Thanks

I don't have time to duplicate something that alredy exists in the MSDN. So in other words this question is answered very well in the MSDN and in articles in this web site. A typed dataset is not what you would think it is if you guess. A typed dataset is a TableAdapter or Entity Framework or something like that. It is classes corresponding with tables in a database and the classes have fields defined with corresponding .Net types for each field in the table. That is an over-simplification and if you want details you really should read some articles.
