Think of it like this:

DataSets (DataBases) Contain Tables
Tables Contain Rows (Records)
Records Contain Columns (Fields)

>>how do I use this dataset to Add, Edit and Delete a customer?

Something like this:

DSCustomer ds  = new DSCustomer();
DSCustomer.CustomersDataTable tbl = ds.Customers;
DSCustomer.CustomersRow row = ds.Customers.NewCustomersRow();

//Add
tbl.Rows.Add(row);

//Edit
row.CustomerName = "";

//Delete
row.Delete();
