Here's a practical example (build a dataset from your current location):
$ds = new-object System.Data.DataSet
$ds.Tables.Add("tblTest")
[void]$ds.Tables["tblTest"].Columns.Add("Name",[string])
[void]$ds.Tables["tblTest"].Columns.Add("Path",[string])
dir | foreach {
$dr = $ds.Tables["tblTest"].NewRow()
$dr["Name"] = $_.name
$dr["Path"] = $_.fullname
$ds.Tables["tblTest"].Rows.Add($dr)
}
$ds.Tables["tblTest"]
$ds.Tables["tblTest"] is an object that you can manipulate just like any other Powershell object:
$ds.Tables["tblTest"] | foreach {
write-host 'Name value is : $_.name
write-host 'Path value is : $_.path
}
