DataColumn()

Source:: DataColumn.cs

Source:: DataColumn.cs

Source:: DataColumn.cs

Initializes a new instance of the DataColumn class as type string.

public:
 DataColumn();

public DataColumn ();

Public Sub New ()

Examples

The following example creates a new DataColumn, sets various properties, and adds it to a DataColumnCollection for the DataTable object.

private void AddDataColumn(DataTable table)
{
    DataColumn column = new DataColumn();

    // Set various properties.
    column.ColumnName = "id";
    column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32");
    column.AutoIncrement = true;
    column.AutoIncrementSeed = 1;
    column.AutoIncrementStep = 1;
    column.ReadOnly = true;

    // Add to Columns collection.
    table.Columns.Add(column);
}

Private Sub AddDataColumn(ByVal table As DataTable)
    Dim column As New DataColumn()

    ' Set various properties.
    With column
       .ColumnName = "id"
       .DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")
       .AutoIncrement = True
       .AutoIncrementSeed = 1
       .AutoIncrementStep = 1
       .ReadOnly = True
     End With

    ' Add to Columns collection.
    table.Columns.Add(column)
End Sub

Remarks

When created, a DataColumn object has no default ColumnName or Caption. When you add it to a DataColumnCollection, a default name ("Column1", "Column2", and so on) will be generated if a name has not been assigned to the ColumnName.

Applies to

DataColumn(String)

Source:: DataColumn.cs

Source:: DataColumn.cs

Source:: DataColumn.cs

Initializes a new instance of the DataColumn class, as type string, using the specified column name.

public:
 DataColumn(System::String ^ columnName);

public DataColumn (string? columnName);

public DataColumn (string columnName);

new System.Data.DataColumn : string -> System.Data.DataColumn

Public Sub New (columnName As String)

Parameters

columnName: String

A string that represents the name of the column to be created. If set to null or an empty string (""), a default name will be specified when added to the columns collection.

Examples

The following example creates a new DataColumn with a specified ColumnName.

private void AddDataColumn(DataTable table)
{
    DataColumn column = new DataColumn("id");

    // Set various properties.
    column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32");
    column.AutoIncrement = true;
    column.AutoIncrementSeed = 1;
    column.AutoIncrementStep = 1;
    column.ReadOnly = true;

    // Add to Columns collection.
    table.Columns.Add(column);
}


Private Sub AddDataColumn(ByVal table As DataTable)
    Dim column As DataColumn 
    column = New DataColumn("id")

    ' Set various properties.
    With column
       .DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")
       .AutoIncrement = True
       .AutoIncrementSeed = 1
       .AutoIncrementStep = 1
       .ReadOnly = True
     End With

    ' Add to Columns collection.
    table.Columns.Add(column)
End Sub

Remarks

By default, the name specific to a column becomes the Caption property value.

Examples

private void CreateComputedColumn(DataTable table)
{
    System.Type myDataType =
        System.Type.GetType("System.Decimal");

    // The expression multiplies the "Price" column value
    // by the "Quantity" to create the "Total" column.
    string expression = "Price * Quantity";

    // Create the column, setting the type to Attribute.
    DataColumn column = new DataColumn("Total", myDataType,
        expression, MappingType.Attribute);

    // Set various properties.
    column.AutoIncrement = false;
    column.ReadOnly = true;

    // Add the column to a DataTable object's to DataColumnCollection.
    DataSet1.Tables["OrderDetails"].Columns.Add(column);
}

Private Sub CreateComputedColumn(ByVal table As DataTable)
    Dim column As DataColumn
    Dim decimalType As System.Type = _
        System.Type.GetType("System.Decimal")

    ' The expression multiplies the "Price" column value by the 
    ' "Quantity" to create the "Total" column.
    Dim expression As String = "Price * Quantity"

    ' Create the column, setting the type to Attribute.
    column = New DataColumn("Total", decimalType, _
        expression, MappingType.Attribute)

    ' Set various properties.
    column.AutoIncrement = False
    column.ReadOnly = True

    ' Add the column to a DataTable object's DataColumnCollection.
    DataSet1.Tables("OrderDetails").Columns.Add(column)
End Sub

Remarks

The type argument sets the ColumnMapping property. The property specifies how a DataColumn is mapped when a DataSet is transformed into an XML document. For example, if the column is named "fName," and the value it contains is "Bob," and type is set to MappingType.Attribute, the XML element would be as follows:

For more information about how columns are mapped to elements or attributes, see the ColumnMapping property.
