thiyagz,
I am sure this is not the easiest method but you could do something like:
Dim x As New Dataset1()
Dim TblName As String = x.DataSetName
Dim ColCtr As Integer
Dim SqlString As String = "CREATE TABLE " & TblName & " ("

Do While ColCtr < x.Tables(0).Columns.Count
SqlString = SqlString & x.Tables(0).Columns(ColCtr).ColumnName.ToString() & " "
SqlString = SqlString & x.Tables(0).Columns(ColCtr).DataType.ToString() & ", "
ColCtr = ColCtr + 1
Loop
SqlString = SqlString & ")"

Then run this SqlString against the DB to create the table. I haven't run this code, so it may not be perfect, but should give you an idea.
