Hi all,

I am having table in database with say name as '1company'. when i
generate strongly typed dataset for this table in xsd file i am
getting entry as below:-

<xs:element name="_x0031_company" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

Can anyone tell me why column name '1company' is written as
"_x0031_company"?

why can't i have entry as below:
<xs:element name="1company" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

Any help will be truely appreciated.
