Can anyone point me to a resourse that shows how to create a Dataset in
code or in VS that is not connected to any data source. I also need to
create an XML file of the schema of the DataSet so that I can pass it to a
Crystal Report.

The application is pulling data from a couple of different sources,
manipulating it and putting it in a whole new format to be printed on a
report. In older ADO I would create a disconnected recordset on the fly and 
manually crate a ddf file to hand to Crystal.

Sorry for such a basic question, but I'm trying to update to the new
ADO.net ways.

Bernie,

Our website is full of answers on your question.

I  think this is one of the shortest.
