Not really. As my application gets more complicated, I tend not to use
datasets for more than representations of static data from a single view or
resultset. I nearly never use Data adapters to update the database (except
for simple domain tables... Create-Update-Delete types of things).

Where I do use the Dataset, I tend to encapsulate it and use it for data
storage inside an object that doesn't look much like a Dataset at all.

As a result, I have never run into this bug.

I really don't care if MS ever fixes this bug, to be honest, although it
would be nice, just to empower those folks who are a little more daring than
I am. I support your call for MS to fix the bug, out of solidarity with
you, but not because I personally need it.
