Using Strongly typed Datasets and a Data Access Layer

[Drathmar]

I've built some strongly typed data sets, they work pretty good, but they didn't do everything I wanted them to do. So I make a class Library and called it my DAL(Data access layer) in it, I had the data adapters, and would do some processing and then make some calls to the db through the functions set in the strongly typed datasets. The whole system seems to be working pretty good, but now I have someone else working with me on the page stuff. At first he created his own instance of the data adapters and bypassed my DAL. Does anyone know a good way of preventing the DAL from being bypassed? I don't know if there's a way to change the scope of a strongly typed data set so that only one class could access it. Kris

It is called discipline.
