c# - Typed Dataset not using TypedTableBase in .NET 4

Question

I'm migrating our DAL class library to .NET 4 (from .NET 3.5). We're using typed datasets quite often, and we often iterate over tables:

foreach(var row in ds.MyTable) var tmp = row.ID;

This does not work anymore, as the designer changes the dataset's code so that tables do not derive from TypedTableBase<T> anymore, but from DataTable (and implement the non-generic IEnumerable). That's what the diff shows. Therefore, the row is of type object at compile-time.

Does anybody know if this is the usual behavior? At the moment, I'm doing it the way shown below, but I hope there's a more elegant solution:

foreach(var row in ds.MyTable.Cast<MyDs.MyRow>()) var tmp = row.ID;

Just ran into this today and was able to correct it by doing the following:

Select the xsd files in the solution explorer and click "Run Custom Tool". The designer files will be regenerated using TypedTableBase instead of DataTable and IEnumerable.
