What is C# equivalent of Delphi's ClientDataSet ?

Is there C# equivalent of Delphi's ClientDataSet ?

ClientDataSet is an in-memory DataSet, that has no
external data storage.

From what little I know of it, is it not a DataSet. I remember some special
functionality (like persisting to/from files) but thats just serialization.
Si I guess my answer would be the DataSet class

Cheers,

Greg

Hi,

I guess it more like a DataTable class, with some additional features (e.g.
WriteXml, ReadXml) that in .NET belong to the DataSet class.

Hello!

I guess it more like a DataTable class...

Yes, the .NET DataTable would be the closest equivalent of a Delphi
ClientDataSet (CDS).

However, nothing prevents you from using the TClientDataSet class in
Delphi.NET applications, if you are willing to use Borland's VCL.NET
libraries. The TClientDataSet is defined in the Borland.Vcl.DBClient
namespace.

The .NET DataSet can contain data from multiple tables, so it can be thought
of as multiple TClientDataSet components combined into one without losing
the data independency in different tables.

Hope this helps.

The equivalent is a DataSet. It doesn't have to be filled from an
external data storage. Just create one and create DataTable's to put in it.
