DbDataSet Class
Represents an in-memory cache of data with connected model support.
Syntax
Remarks

Base class for provider-specific DataSet components.

Example
This sample shows how to use DbDataSet. The routine accepts DbDataSet-compatible object and connection string. After Devart.Data.SqlServer.SqlDataTables were created and populated, they were added to DataTableCollection of DbDataSet, and DataRelation was created to link tables.
pubic void FillDataSet(DbDataSet dataSet, string connStr) {
        // retrieving data from DEPT table
        SqlDataTable dept = new SqlDataTable("select * from dept", connStr);
        dept.FetchAll = true;
        dept.Active = true;
      
        // retrieving data from EMP table
        SqlDataTable emp = new SqlDataTable("select * from emp", connStr);
        emp.FetchAll = true;
        emp.Active = true;

        // adding data tables to SqlDataSet
        dataSet.Tables.Add(dept);
        dataSet.Tables.Add(emp);

        // linking tables to allow navigation from parent table rows
        // to corresponding child table rows
        DataColumn parentColumn = dataSet.Tables["DEPT"].Columns["DEPTNO"];
        DataColumn childColumn = dataSet.Tables["EMP"].Columns["DEPTNO"];
        DataRelation relation =        new System.Data.DataRelation("DeptsEmps",
                parentColumn, childColumn);
        dataSet.Relations.Add(relation);
}
Public Sub FillDataSet(ByRef dataSet As DbDataSet, ByVal connStr As String)
        ' retrieving data from DEPT table
        Dim dept As New SqlDataTable("select * from dept", connStr)
        dept.FetchAll = True
        dept.Active = True

        ' retrieving data from EMP table
        Dim emp As New SqlDataTable("select * from emp", connStr)
        emp.FetchAll = True
        emp.Active = True

        ' adding data tables to SqlDataSet
        dataSet.Tables.Add(dept)
        dataSet.Tables.Add(emp)

        ' linking tables to allow navigation from parent table rows
        ' to corresponding child table rows
        Dim parentColumn As DataColumn = dataSet.Tables("DEPT").Columns("DEPTNO")
        Dim childColumn As DataColumn = dataSet.Tables("EMP").Columns("DEPTNO")
        Dim relation As New System.Data.DataRelation("DeptsEmps", parentColumn, childColumn)
        dataSet.Relations.Add(relation)
End Sub
