Whenever data must be collected from the database, the dataset does the work without being in a continuous connection with the database where virtual databases are created that look like the original database and data is stored in the same place. Therefore, we can say that the dataset is a representation of the database structure. Datatable is the representation of one table in the database where rows and columns are properly named in the database. It also represents the cache of rows, columns, constraints of both rows and columns in the structure. Datatable is the base in DotNet, where dataset and data view makes use of Datatable.
