odujosh You go one thing wrong:
You said Linq to Dataset is the only one that supports change tracking.
Linq to SQL also does. Only reason to use LINQ to Dataset is if you have a bunch of datasets laying around from ADO.NET 2.0 work. -

wzack odujosh is absolitely correct. The main advantage of LINQ to Datasets is if you have a lot of them because your applications already depend on them heavily.
