4 Data Sets 4.1 DataSet Methods

DataSet Method Description Accepts all changes to the DataSet Removes all rows from all tables in the DataSet that is, removes all data. Creates a new DataSet with all tables having the same Table structure including any constraints and relationships. No Data is copied. Same as for the DataSet C l o n e ( ) but it includes all Data. Creates a DataSet that contains all changes made to the dataset. If AcceptChanges was called then only changes made since the last call are returned. Returns true if any changes were made to the DataSet including adding tables and modifying rows. Outputs an XML file containing schema with all Tables, Data, Constraints and relationships. Inputs an XML file containing schema, Tables, Data, Constraints and relationships..

4.3 Loading A DataSet

4.3.1 From a Table
Tables created and filled with data as discussed in the Tables section can be added to the Tables collection by using the Add() method or they can be added at once using the A d d R a n g e ( )method.

4.3.2 From a Database

A DataSet tables collection can also be filled with linked tables containing data directly from a database recordset, which is considered bound data.

4.3.2.1 Method 1 sqlDataAdapter

The following code illustrates how to directly load or bind a database recordset using the sqlDataAdapters F i l l ( ) method where the select query string was used to create the recordset. After the Fill() method is called, ds will contain a table in its collection with column headers that match the field names in the select query string and column datatypes will match those specified in the database table elements. Each row will contain data corresponding to each field.

4.3.2.2 Method 2 sqlDataReader

This method is more complex than using the sqlDataAdapters F i l l ( )method, but it allows for preprocessing of data prior to populating table rows and the data is not bound directly to the database. In the example, instead of restricting the database record set to contain distinct Atomic Number rows through a SQL query, it is done programmatically for illustration purposes.

4.4 Linked Tables

This example shows how to link two tables together through a primary key. In this example a Table with TableName of Elements is created with a Primary key of Atomic Number. The second Table with TableName of Isotopes is linked through a relationship coupling its Atomic Number column to Elements primary key.

4.5.1 Filling
Assume that another DataSet ds exists that has a table with index 0 in its Tables collection that contains both Element and Isotope data that will be used to fill rows in the linked tables contained in the elementDS DataSet tables collection as defined in the previous section. Assume Table[0] in DataSet ds has the following columns: AtomicNbr, Element, Symbol, IsotopeNbr, PctAbundance and AtomicMass where rows are sorted by Atomic numbers ascending and then by IsotopeNbr numbers ascending.

4.5.2 Removing
To remove all linked tables or a selected table that is linked from the D a t a S e t , it is first necessary to remove all relations, then constraints and then the table otherwise relationship/constraint table errors are generated. The following code example provides a generic routine for removing all linked tables in a dataset.

4.6 XML Export and Import DataSet Data

4.6.1 W r i t e X m l
All tables with their schemas, relationships, constraints and data contained in a DataSet can be exported in XML by specifying a DataSet property Namespace and using the W r i t e X m lmethod. For example:

4.6.2 R e a d X m l
All tables with their schemas, relationships, constraints and data contained in an XML file are imported into a DataSet by specifying a DataSet property Namespace and using the R e a d X m lmethod. Once in the D a t a S e tit is just like any other dataset. For example:
Collapse | Copy Code

D a t a S e td s=n e wD a t a S e t ( ) ; d s . N a m e s p a c e=" h t t p : / / w w w . m y d o m a i n . c o m / x m l f i l e s " ; d s . R e a d X m l ( F i l e N a m e ,X m l R e a d M o d e . R e a d S c h e m a ) ;

4.7 Handling DataSet Errors
