I tried to create a new strongly-typed dataset that inherited from an 
existing one, but I was not able to. There were methods that were created for 
the new strongly-typed dataset that had the same name as methods in the one 
that I was trying to inherit from.

I have found strongly-typed datasets to be extremely useful in a number of 
situations, but the inability to inherit seems to be very limiting. I had to 
create an independent new strongly-typed dataset and paste in schema and 
code-behind from the original one. This is the opposite of object orientation.

Is it possible to create a strongly-typed dataset that inherits from an 
existing one?
