How can I include DBNull as a value in my strongly typed dataset?

I've created a strongly typed dataset (MyDataSet) in my .NET app. For the sake of simplicity, we'll say it has one DataTable (MyDataTable), with one column (MyCol).

Here's the scenario: I want to be able to support both SQL Server CE and SQL Server 200x databases using a strongly-typed dataset.

web services, generics, typed DS, on Compact framework 2.0, current (2009) best practices?

Struggling here, many documents I find are CF 1.0 centric and talk of the 2.0 changes to allow generics and typed DS'es on CF 2.0. Well, CF 2.0 has come and gone, and MS still shows these without update. I am not ready to jump into WCF, and my clients have a lot of older compact framework 2.0 machines. I am fortunate in that these We...

How do we solve all this "Conversion from type DBNull to type String is not valid" nastiness?

In our applications, I can't think of many cases where we care about null string fields. We just want them to show as empty strings in most situations.

Where are the code gen templates for .xsd datasets?

Do they even exist? We have a website with a massive DAL using strongly typed datasets.
