DataAdapter.TableMappings Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Data.Common

Assemblies:

netstandard.dll, System.Data.Common.dll

Source:

DataAdapter.cs

Gets a collection that provides the primary mapping between a source table and a DataTable.

C#

public System.Data.Common.DataTableMappingCollection TableMappings { get; }

Property Value

DataTableMappingCollection

A collection that provides the primary mapping between the returned records and the DataSet. The default value is an empty collection.

Examples

The following example uses a derived class, OleDbDataAdapter, to add DataTableMapping objects to its TableMappings collection and display a list of those mapped source tables. This example assumes that an OleDbDataAdapter has already been created.

C#

public void ShowTableMappings() {
   // ...
   // create myDataAdapter
   // ...
   myDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Categories","DataCategories");
   myDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Orders","DataOrders");
   myDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Products","DataProducts");
   string myMessage = "Table Mappings:\n";
   for(int i=0;i < myDataAdapter.TableMappings.Count;i++) {
      myMessage += i.ToString() + " "
         + myDataAdapter.TableMappings[i].ToString() + "\n";
   }
   MessageBox.Show(myMessage);
}

Remarks

When reconciling changes, the DataAdapter uses the DataTableMappingCollection collection to associate the column names used by the data source with the column names used by the DataSet.
