ADO.NET in a Nutshell

This enumeration specifies the DataColumn.ColumnMapping property, which determines how a column's value is written when the DataSet.WriteXml( ) method is called. Each column can be mapped to an element ( Element ), which is the default; an attribute of the row element ( Attribute ); omitted ( Hidden ); or set to a text node within the element ( SimpleContent ). There can be only one SimpleContent column in a table.

public enum MappingType { Element = 1 , Attribute = 2 , SimpleContent = 3 , Hidden = 4 }
