ADO.net > DataSet Object

DATASET OBJECT
• The DataSet class implements three important interfaces:
1. IlistSource makes it possible to return a data-bound list of elements
2. ISerializable make the class capable of controlling how its data is serialized to a .net formatter
3. IXMLSerializable guarantees the class can serialize itself to XML
