Go Up to Using a Client Dataset with File-based Data


There are three ways to define and create client datasets that do not represent server data:

Once the dataset is created, you can save it to a file. From then on, you do not need to recreate the table, only load it from the file you saved. When beginning a file-based database application, you may want to first create and save empty files for your datasets before writing the application itself. This way, you start with the metadata for your client dataset already defined, making it easier to set up the user interface.
