DataSetFactory Class

Overview

The DataSetFactory class provides a single, convenient entry point for creating a new IDataSet instance. It lives in PocoDataSet.Extensions and returns the default concrete implementation, PocoDataSet.Data.DataSet, while exposing it as the interface type IDataSet.

This factory keeps application code (and consuming libraries) decoupled from the concrete data model type. If the default DataSet implementation ever changes, the rest of the code can continue calling DataSetFactory.CreateDataSet().

Namespace and Assembly

Namespace: PocoDataSet.Extensions
Assembly: PocoDataSet.Extensions.dll

Declaration

public static class DataSetFactory
{
    public static IDataSet CreateDataSet();
}

Methods

CreateDataSet()

Creates and returns a new empty IDataSet instance.

• Return type: IDataSet
• Concrete type created: PocoDataSet.Data.DataSet

Usage Examples

// 1) Create an empty data set
IDataSet dataSet = DataSetFactory.CreateDataSet();

// 2) Add tables / schema after creation (example)
IDataSet dataSet = DataSetFactory.CreateDataSet();
// dataSet.Tables.Add(...);

Design Notes

• Prefer the factory when you want to depend only on PocoDataSet.IData abstractions in your consuming code.
• The factory currently performs a simple new DataSet(); it does not add tables, schema, or service metadata by default.
