Fill() method create an instance of DataTable and DataTable instance hold references of rows (fetched result).

int a=0;
 if(myDataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Count!=0)
  {
    a= (int) myDataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][0]; //1st row and 1st column
  }

Just to add:
... be careful here. adatapost is correct, but be careful in two things
- row index
- column index

You have to state the correct indexes, and for the column you can even state the column name!
