Attributes: FlagsAttribute

Fields

Name	Value	Description
Detached	1	The row has been created but is not part of any DataRowCollection. A DataRow is in this state immediately after it has been created and before it is added to a collection, or if it has been removed from a collection.
Unchanged	2	The row has not changed since AcceptChanges() was last called.
Added	4	The row has been added to a DataRowCollection, and AcceptChanges() has not been called.
Deleted	8	The row was deleted using the Delete() method of the DataRow.
Modified	16	The row has been modified and AcceptChanges() has not been called.

Examples

The following example first creates a new DataTable with one column, then creates a single DataRow. As the DataRow is created, added, modified, and deleted, its RowState is printed.

private void DemonstrateRowState() {
   //Run a function to create a DataTable with one column.
   DataTable myTable = MakeTable();
   DataRow myRow;

   // Create a new DataRow.
   myRow = myTable.NewRow();
   // Detached row.
   Console.WriteLine("New Row " + myRow.RowState);

   myTable.Rows.Add(myRow);
   // New row.
   Console.WriteLine("AddRow " + myRow.RowState);

   myTable.AcceptChanges();
   // Unchanged row.
   Console.WriteLine("AcceptChanges " + myRow.RowState);

   myRow["FirstName"] = "Scott";
   // Modified row.
   Console.WriteLine("Modified " + myRow.RowState);

   myRow.Delete();
   // Deleted row.
   Console.WriteLine("Deleted " + myRow.RowState);
}

private DataTable MakeTable(){
   // Make a simple table with one column.
   DataTable dt = new DataTable("myTable");
   DataColumn dcFirstName = new DataColumn("FirstName", Type.GetType("System.String"));
   dt.Columns.Add(dcFirstName);
   return dt;
}

Private Sub DemonstrateRowState()
    'Run a function to create a DataTable with one column.
    Dim dataTable As DataTable = MakeTable()
    Dim dataRow As DataRow

    ' Create a new DataRow.
    dataRow = dataTable.NewRow()
    ' Detached row.
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("New Row {0}", dataRow.RowState))

    dataTable.Rows.Add(dataRow)
    ' New row.
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("AddRow {0}", dataRow.RowState))

    dataTable.AcceptChanges()
    ' Unchanged row.
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("AcceptChanges {0}", dataRow.RowState))

    dataRow("FirstName") = "Scott"
    ' Modified row.
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Modified {0}", dataRow.RowState))

    dataRow.Delete()
    ' Deleted row.
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Deleted {0}", dataRow.RowState))
End Sub

Private Function MakeTable() As DataTable
    ' Make a simple table with one column.
    Dim dt As New DataTable("dataTable")
    Dim firstName As New DataColumn("FirstName", _
       Type.GetType("System.String"))
    dt.Columns.Add(firstName)
    Return dt
End Function

Remarks

The DataRowState enumeration is returned by the RowState property of the DataRow class.
