Attributes

Examples

The following example gets the DataTable of the current DataView.

C#
private static void DemonstrateDataViewTable()
{
    DataTable table = new DataTable();

    // add columns
    DataColumn column = table.Columns.Add("ProductID",
        typeof(int)	);
    column.AutoIncrement = true;
    column = table.Columns.Add("ProductName",
        typeof(string));

    // populate DataTable.
    for(int id=1; id<=5; id++)
    {
        table.Rows.Add(
            new object[]{ id, string.Format("product{0}", id) });
    }

    DataView view = new DataView(table);

    PrintTable(view.Table, "DataTable");
}

private static void PrintTable(DataTable table, string label)
{
    // This function prints values in the table or DataView.
    Console.WriteLine("\n" + label);
    foreach(DataRow row in table.Rows)
    {
        foreach(DataColumn column in table.Columns)
        {
            Console.Write("\table{0}", row[column]);
        }
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}

Remarks

The DataTable also has a DefaultView property which returns the default DataView for the table. For example, if you want to create a custom view on the table, set the RowFilter on the DataView returned by the DefaultView.

You can only set the Table property if the current value is null.
