I have a case where I have .xsd files that I want to use with the Dataset object in VB 2010.

Can I use an .xsd file to create the column definitions for the DataTable object?

I am trying to avoid re-typing all the column data and the risk of error doing so.

Thanks.

Yes.
DataSet and DataTable both include ReadXmlSchema and WriteXmlSchema methods (in a variety of overloads).
Google and MSDN will find them for you, but:
DataTable.ReadXmlSchma[^]
DataSet.ReadXmlSchema[^]
