[ C# ]
public DataSet Clone ( );

[ C++ ]
public: DataSet* Clone ( );

A new DataSet with the same schema as the current DataSet, , but none of the data.

NOTE: If these classes have been subclassed, the clone will also be of the same subclasses.

The following example initializes a clone of a DataSet object's schema.

private void CloneDataSet ( DataSet myDataSet ) {
   // initialize a dataset object for the clone.
   DataSet cloneDataSet = myDataSet.Clone ( );

   // ... code to work with the clone here ...
}

Private Sub CloneDataSet ( ByVal myDataSet As DataSet )
   ' initialize a dataset object for the clone.
   Dim cloneDataSet As DataSet = myDataSet.Clone ( )

   ' ... code to work with the clone here ...
End Sub
