Dataset is empty, no tables in Dataset

This is how we can test if dataset is empty;

if(ds != null)
if(ds.Tables.Count > 0 )
if(ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)

We can loop through all tables in a method like this;

bool IsEmpty(DataSet dataSet)
{
    foreach(DataTable table in dataSet.Tables)
        if (table.Rows.Count != 0) return false;

    return true;
}

Since a DataTable could contain deleted rows RowState = Deleted, depending on what you want to achive, it could be a good idea to check the DefaultView instead (which does not contain deleted rows).

bool IsEmpty(DataSet dataSet)
{
    return !dataSet.Tables.Cast<DataTable>().Any(x => x.DefaultView.Count > 0);
}
