Removing datasets from our architecture...

Hello,

I was curious as to peoples thoughts on using tools such as MyGeneration/CodeSmith to generate business objects as opposed to using datasets? We currently use datasets, for various reasons I *suspect* we want to move away from using them....

I guess my secondary question is will it be a complete rewrite to remove datasets from the application? :( or is there an easy way to do it? (They are HEAVILY used)

I wonder if we will be stuck with them forever more, or should I go through the pain of changing *now*, somewhat early in the development process, (6 months) ...or should I just live with them...

Background Info
MsAccess Backend, Webservice consumed by a WinForms application all in .net

Thank you for any thoughts anyone has...
John
