Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Returns a DataTableReader with one result set per DataTable, in the same sequence as the tables appear in the Tables collection.

Overloads

CreateDataReader(DataTable[])	Returns a DataTableReader with one result set per DataTable.
CreateDataReader()	Returns a DataTableReader with one result set per DataTable, in the same sequence as the tables appear in the Tables collection.

Examples

This example, a Console application, creates three DataTable instances and adds each to a DataSet. The example calls the CreateDataReader method and displays the contents of the returned DataTableReader. Note that the order of the result sets in the DataTableReader is controlled by the order of the DataTable instances passed as parameters.

Note

This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of CreateDataReader. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.

CreateDataReader(DataTable[])

Source:: DataSet.cs

Source:: DataSet.cs

Source:: DataSet.cs

Returns a DataTableReader with one result set per DataTable.

public:
 System::Data::DataTableReader ^ CreateDataReader(... cli::array <System::Data::DataTable ^> ^ dataTables);

public System.Data.DataTableReader CreateDataReader (params System.Data.DataTable[] dataTables);

member this.CreateDataReader : System.Data.DataTable[] -> System.Data.DataTableReader

Parameters

dataTables: DataTable[]

An array of DataTables providing the order of the result sets to be returned in the DataTableReader.

Returns

DataTableReader

A DataTableReader containing one or more result sets, corresponding to the DataTable instances contained within the source DataSet. The returned result sets are in the order specified by the dataTables parameter.

Remarks

In order to ensure that the order of the result sets within the returned DataTableReader, if a DataTable within the DataSet is empty, it is represented by an empty result set within the returned DataTableReader. Because this overloaded version allows you to supply a list of DataTable instances as parameters, you can specify the order in which the result sets appear within the returned DataTableReader.

Applies to

CreateDataReader()

Source:: DataSet.cs

Source:: DataSet.cs

Source:: DataSet.cs

Returns a DataTableReader with one result set per DataTable, in the same sequence as the tables appear in the Tables collection.

public:
 System::Data::DataTableReader ^ CreateDataReader();

public System.Data.DataTableReader CreateDataReader ();

member this.CreateDataReader : unit -> System.Data.DataTableReader

Public Function CreateDataReader () As DataTableReader

Returns

DataTableReader

A DataTableReader containing one or more result sets, corresponding to the DataTable instances contained within the source DataSet.

Examples

The following example creates three DataTable instances, and adds each to a DataSet. The example then passes the filled DataSet to a procedure that calls the CreateDataReader method, and proceeds to iterate through all the result sets contained within the DataTableReader. The example displays the results in the Console window.

    // Add some DataTables to the DataSet, including
    // an empty DataTable:
