Answer / umamahadevan
DataSet
Data set can be said as a temporary data base which works
on disconnected architecture which stores schema and data
in application memory area..It fetches all data at a time..
DML is entertained here
DataReader
Datareader is like a forward only recordset. It fetches one
row at a time.DataReader is readonly so we cannot do any
transaction on them. DataReader will be the best choice
where we need to show the data to the user which requires
no transaction ie reports. Due to DataReader is forward
only we cannot fetch the data randomly. .NET Dataproviders
optimizes the datareaders to handle the huge amount of data.

Answer / satish
The DataSet consists of a collection of DataTable objects
that you can relate to each other with DataRelation
objects. A DataSet can read and write data and schema as
XML documents..The DataReader object is the ADO.NET
counterpart of the read-only, forward-only default ADO
cursor
