What does "DataSet is Serializable" mean?

It means that the DataSet can be persisted to some medium. A file is one
example.

You can save (serialize) the DataSet to a file. Then , some amount of time
later (after reboots, whatever) , you can come back and "reclaim" it from
the file.

Look up

WriteXml
ReadXml

methods under dataset.

Hi,

Dataset

It is collection of multiple tables.
We can set the relations.
Using Dataset we can READ WRITE data in XML format.
Dataset is serializable.

Serializable ----- It is conversion of an object into a transferrable
format. It is of 2 types

XML serialization - Conversion of an object to XML format.

Binary Serialization - Conversion of object to stream of bytes.


It means that the data stored in dataset can be stored in XML format.
