typed dataset for populating custom objects ?

I'm about to develop databse server app; I have decided not to use typed dataset/dataset, except in the DAL, (so I'm not asking the question whether to use dataset or custom objects).

Populating my custom objects with data requiers an interaction with DataSet in the DAL.

I have seen a reasonable way of using typed dataset for this purpose. Is typed dataset is the right choice in this scenario ?

+1  A: 

No you dont need types datasets if you are populating your own objects, just use a basic reader to get the data (implementing any checks for nulls etc as your architecture requires)

no dataset at all ? what about loading/saving hierarchical from/to objects ? is'nt it preferable operation to do with a dataset (typed/untyped) ?

YOu dont need types datasets that include additional data, since you;re just interested in getting the vales and populating your own objects, use whatever the most light-weight data option is.
