Question - What is a Dataset?
Answer -
Dataset is a disconnected copy of data that gets populated in the client PC. It contains Datatables and Datarelations. Generally, DataAdapter is required for populating a Dataset with the data.
Since it is disconnected, the user no longer need to be connected to the database every time and data manipulations are performed without interacting with the data source. It is very fast and reliable as it resides in the local system.
