What's the difference between Dataset.clone and Dataset.copy?..

Answer / muzism

Shallow copy is when the address of the object is assigned
to another of the same type. If a change to one is made,
the change is apparent in both instances.

Deep copy is when the entire contents of the object are
copied from one object into another. Hence, there are two
autonomous instances of the object. If a change to one is
made, the change is confined to that object.

Dataset.clone() duplicates (only) the structure of an
dataset, with no data being duplicated.

Dataset.copy() performs a deep copy of the dataset

What's the difference between Dataset.clone and Dataset.copy?..

Answer / dasaradhi

Clone -- Creates another reference (Pointer) to the same
location.

Copy -- Creates two different references to two different
Address Spaces

DataSet dsOriginal = new DataSet();
DataSet dsClone = dsOriginal.Clone();
DataSet dsCopy = dsCopy.Copy();

What does this mean?
Well, here is the answer.
If you make changes to dsClone, they will reflect in
dsOriginal also. where as you do changes to dsCopy, the
changes will not reflect in dsOriginal.
