The better Option is to limit the no of records in Your Query..Using Top Clause in sql.

Hi If you provide one scenario, it will be easier to answer your question. I don't think dataset has such a property to limit the number of records. While copying records to a dataset, we can set the number of records to be copied to the dataset.
For example we can use 'Take' method in LINQ .

C#
DataView dataView = new DataView(dataTable);
dataView.RowFilter = String.Format("EventDate > '{0}'", DateTime.Now);
dataView.Sort = "EventDate";
dataTable = dataView.ToTable();
while (dataTable.Rows.Count > _rowLimit)
{
    dataTable = dataTable.AsEnumerable().Skip(0).Take(50).CopyToDataTable();
}
return dataTable;


I forgot to say
You'll need namespace: System.Linq and System.Data
