I am working on a project that relies on DataSet and DataTable. We wish to move into cross platform so are looking at Portable Class Libraries. However we cant find out how to use DataSet and DataTable in a portable class library. Are they available?
Maybe we should be moving away from DataSets and DataTables but we have what we have right now.
No the Dataset and DataTable are quite Windows specific Data structures, they would not be cross compatible, you may instead plan to serialize your result in to XML, Json, which would be available for use in all the platforms, thus achieving the inter-operability as expected, this would surely mean than in Windows you need a wrapper to de-serialize the XML / Json into relevant in memory object like DataTable
