3. What is the difference between DataSet.Copy() and DataSet.Clone()?
S.No DataSet.Copy() DataSet.Clone()
1 DataSet.Copy() copies both the DataSet.Clone() copies the
structure and data structure of the DataSet, including
all DataTable schemas, relations,
2. and constraints and it does not copy
any data
4. What are the differences between RecordSet and DataSet?
S.No RecordSet DataSet
1 RecordSet provides data of one DataSet is a data structure which
row at an instant represents the complete table data
at the same time
2 RecordSet always needs an DataSet needs connection only for
Open connection to read the retrieving the data. After retrieve the
data from data sources data connection is not necessary
3 RecordSet is able to load the DataSet has the capability to store

4 RecordSet does not support DataSet enforces data integrity by
constraints of Databases using Constraints
5. What are the differences between ADO and ADO.Net?
S.No ADO ADO.Net

Typed DataSets use explicit names and DataTypes for their members.
ex:

UnTyped DataSets use table and column collections for their members
ex:
ds.Tables["emp"].Columns["eno"].ReadOnly=true;

ADO.NET Difference FAQs-3
1.Difference between ExecuteNonQuery() and ExecuteScalar() methods in ADO.NET
S.No ExecuteNonQuery() ExecuteScalar()
1 It will work with Action Queries It will work with Non-Action Queries
only that contain aggregate functions.
(Create,Alter,Drop,Insert,Updat
e,Delete).
2 It returns the count of rows It returns the first row and first
effected by the Query. column value of the query result.
3 Return type is int Return type is object.
4 Return value is optional and Return value is compulsory and
can be assigned to an integer should be assigned to a variable of
variable. required type.
Example-1 for ExecuteNonQuery Method -Insert:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Insert Into SampleTable Values('1','2')",con);
//con is the connection object
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); //The SQL Insert Statement gets executed
Example-2 for ExecuteNonQuery Method - Update:
public void UpdateEmployeeEmail()
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
String sqlQuery = "UPDATE Employee SET empemail='umar.ali@xyz.com' WHERE
empid=5;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlQuery, conn);
try
{
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
6. conn.Close();
}
return count;
}
Example-1 for ExecuteScalar Method:
This returns only one value that is first column value of the first row in the executed query
public int getSomeProdId()
{
int count=0;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
String sqlQuery = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.region";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlQuery, conn);
try
{
conn.Open();
//Since return type is System.Object, a typecast is must
count = (Int32)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
return count;
}
Example-2 for ExecuteScalar Method:
This returns one value only, no recordsets.
cmd.CommandText = "Select Name, DOB, from Emp where ID=1";
Dim strName As string = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
2.Difference between ExecuteNonQuery() and ExecuteReader() methods in
ADO.NET
S.No ExecuteNonQuery() ExecuteReader()
1 It will work with Action Queries It will work with Action and Non-
only Action Queries (Select)
(Create,Alter,Drop,Insert,Updat
e,Delete).
7. 2 It returns the count of rows It returns the collection of rows
effected by the Query. selected by the Query.
3 Return type is int Return type is DataReader.
4 Return value is optional and Return value is compulsory and
can be assigned to an integer should be assigned to an another
variable. object DataReader.
Example-1 for ExecuteNonQuery Method -Insert:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Insert Into SampleTable Values('1','2')",con);
//con is the connection object
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); //The SQL Insert Statement gets executed
Example-2 for ExecuteNonQuery Method - Update:
public void UpdateEmployeeEmail()
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
String sqlQuery = "UPDATE Employee SET empemail='umar.ali@xyz.com' WHERE
empid=5;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlQuery, conn);
try
{
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
return count;
}
Example for ExecuteReader Method:
Here, ExecuteReader is used to get set of records by specified query, namely, "select *
from emp"
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr); //constructor can be connection of string.
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand ("select * from emp", con);
con.Open();
SqlDataReader dr = cmd. ExecuteReader (CommandBehavior. CloseConnection);
//Implicitly closes the connection because CommandBehavior. CloseConnection was
specified.
