typed datasets populated by generic lists?

We have an application that makes use of a strongly typed dataset. However,
some issues have come up with the database and tools. We would like to
continue using it, but would prefer to populate it from a Genric List
business object. Are these possible:

1) use a generic list of business objects to populate a strongly-typed dataset
2) change the source of an existing strongly-typed dataset from from a
database to a generic list.

This is w/.net 2
Thanks much
Mark

Check this out. I found it a while back and bookmarked it because I thought
it would interesting, but never had time to go back and check it.
