In .NET SDK documentation, Tables i 1

[emeraldtea]

In .NET SDK documentation, Tables is a property of DataSet. It lists as:
public DataTableCollection Tables {get;}

What does {get;} mean? Is it related to a method for getting Tables value?

What is DataTableCollection? Is it a base class that Tables inherited?

Thanks.

The DataSet represents a complete set of data including related tables, constraints, and relationships among the tables.
If you wan to access one particular table named Tab1 in DataSet ds, you need to access it as follows
ds.Tables["Tab1"]

Check ut following links for more info
It is like a memory resident relational Database.

thanks.
I am interested in finding out the syntax of the C#.

public DataTableCollection Tables {get;}


Tables is not a method. What does the {get;} mean?

The {get} indicates that it's a read-only property.

You would access it by doing something like:

DataTableCollection MyTables = MyDataset.Tables;

MyTables will then be a collection of DataTable objects from your DataSet.

If the property had been writable (like the Prefix property off the DataSet object), then it would have been defined like:

[Serializable]
public string Prefix {get; set;}
