What's the difference between Dataset.clone and Dataset.copy?..

Answer / muzism

Shallow copy is when the address of the object is assigned
to another of the same type. If a change to one is made,
the change is apparent in both instances.

Deep copy is when the entire contents of the object are
copied from one object into another. Hence, there are two
autonomous instances of the object. If a change to one is
made, the change is confined to that object.

Address Spaces

DataSet dsOriginal = new DataSet();
DataSet dsClone = dsOriginal.Clone();
DataSet dsCopy = dsCopy.Copy();

dsOriginal also. where as you do changes to dsCopy, the
changes will not reflect in dsOriginal.
