Chapter 5. The DataSet Family of Objects
ADO.NET includes a bewildering assortment of objects including DataSets, DataTables, DataRows, DataColumns, DataRelations, DataViews, and Constraints. Using these objects, you can model practically every aspect of a database’s content and structure. You can filter the data and build objects representing subsets of the data you have selected. You can add, modify, and delete data.
This chapter explains these objects and shows how you can use them to view, modify, add, and delete data. Chapter 6, “Database Connections,” explains how you can move data between these objects and a database.
