I have a SP I want to execute and save the groos result aside (in a class field).
Later on I want to acquire the values of some columns for some rows from this result.

What returned types are possible? Which one is the most sutiable for my goal?
I know there are DataSet, DataReader, resultSet. what else?
What is the main difference between them ?

I do not believe that there is a ResultSet type in .Net.

You talk about accessing the values of rows and columns so the obvious candidate would be a DataTable for your class field.

This page from MSDN[^] shows how to execute the SP using a DataReader.

You can convert that to a DataTable using something like this:

C#

public static DataTable ReaderToTable(SqlDataReader reader)
{
    DataTable newTable = new DataTable();
    DataColumn col;
    DataRow row;
    int i;

    for (i = 0; i < reader.FieldCount; i++)
    {
        col = new DataColumn();
        col.ColumnName = reader.GetName(i);
        col.DataType = reader.GetFieldType(i);

        newTable.Columns.Add(col);
    }

    while (reader.Read())
    {
        row = newTable.NewRow();
        for (i = 0; i < reader.FieldCount; i++)
        {
            row[i] = reader[i];
        }

        newTable.Rows.Add(row);
    }

    return newTable;
}
