dataSet

The DataSet whose data and schema will be merged.

preserveChanges

A value indicating whether changes made to the current DataSet should be maintained. true, if changes should be maintained; otherwise, false.

The Merge method is used to merge two DataSet objects that have largely similar schemas. A merge is typically used on a client application to incorporate the latest changes from a data source into an existing DataSet. This allows the client application to have a refreshed DataSet with the latest data from the data source.
