There is no replacement yet for ADOX. You can use it through COM interop. Do you need to access (read) tables metadata or *define* tables, indexes, etc? To read metadata on a DBMS independent (OleDbConnection.GetOleDbSchemaTable) or SQL Server-specific (but standard) "select * from information_schema.xxx" basis is certainly possible.
I'm almost certain (not knowing exactly what you are doing) that using DataSet doesn't get you what you want.

In my new project I need access to tables metadata (like field names, types, foreign keys and ....) Does DataSet class impements those functionalities?
