Delta

Overview

The Delta class contains a collection of DeltaChange items.

This collection maintains a list of inserted, deleted and updated rows in a DataTable. It's used by Data Abstract clients to send the modified rows back to the server and by the server to process the updates. deltas on the client can be created automatically when RemoteDataAdapter is called.
