The type argument sets the ColumnMapping property. The property specifies how a DataColumn is mapped when a DataSet is transformed into an XML document. For example, if the column is named "fName," and the value it contains is "Bob," and type is set to MappingType.Attribute, the XML element would be as follows:
<Name fName = 'Bob'/>
For more information about how columns are mapped to elements or attributes, see the ColumnMapping property.
