Copying Data from Another Dataset

Go Up to Working with Data Using a Client Dataset

To copy the data from another dataset at design time, right click the client dataset and choose Assign Local Data. A dialog appears listing all the datasets available in your project. Select the one whose data and structure you want to copy and choose OK. When you copy the source dataset, your client dataset is automatically activated.

To copy from another dataset at run time, you can clone the cursor.
