private void CloneDataSet ( DataSet myDataSet ) {
   // initialize a dataset object for the clone.
   DataSet cloneDataSet = myDataSet.Clone ( );

   // ... code to work with the clone here ...
}

Private Sub CloneDataSet ( ByVal myDataSet As DataSet )
   ' initialize a dataset object for the clone.
   Dim cloneDataSet As DataSet = myDataSet.Clone ( )

   ' ... code to work with the clone here ...
End Sub
