Attributes

Examples

The following example uses the ChildRelations property to return each child DataRelation in a DataTable. Each relation is then used as an argument in the GetChildRows method of the DataRow to return an array of rows. The value of each column in the row is then printed.

private static void GetChildRowsFromDataRelation()
{
    /* For each row in the table, get the child rows using the
    ChildRelations. For each item in the array, print the value
    of each column. */
    DataTable table = CreateDataSet().Tables["Customers"];
    DataRow[] childRows;
    foreach(DataRelation relation in table.ChildRelations)
    {
        foreach(DataRow row in table.Rows)
        {
            PrintRowValues(new DataRow[] {row}, "Parent Row");
            childRows = row.GetChildRows(relation);
            // Print values of rows.
            PrintRowValues(childRows, "child rows");
        }
    }
}

public static DataSet CreateDataSet()
{
    // create a DataSet with one table, two columns
    DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();

    // create Customer table
    DataTable table = new DataTable("Customers");
    dataSet.Tables.Add(table);
    table.Columns.Add("customerId", typeof(int)).AutoIncrement = true;
    table.Columns.Add("name", typeof(string));
    table.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { table.Columns["customerId"] };

    // create Orders table
    table = new DataTable("Orders");
    dataSet.Tables.Add(table);
    table.Columns.Add("orderId", typeof(int)).AutoIncrement = true;
    table.Columns.Add("customerId", typeof(int));
    table.Columns.Add("amount", typeof(double));
    table.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { table.Columns["orderId"] };

    // create relation
    dataSet.Relations.Add(dataSet.Tables["Customers"].Columns["customerId"],
        dataSet.Tables["Orders"].Columns["customerId"]);

    // populate the tables
    int orderId = 1;
    for(int customerId=1; customerId<=10; customerId++)
    {
        // add customer record
        dataSet.Tables["Customers"].Rows.Add(
            new object[] { customerId,
            string.Format("customer{0}", customerId) });

Remarks

A DataRelation defines the relationship between two tables. Typically, two tables are linked through a single field that contains the same data. For example, a table which contains address data may have a single field containing codes that represent countries/regions. A second table that contains country/region data will have a single field that contains the code that identifies the country/region, and it is this code which is inserted into the corresponding field in the first table. A DataRelation, then, contains at least four pieces of information: (1) the name of the first table, (2) the column name in the first table, (3) the name of the second table, and (4) the column name in the second table.
