DataTable(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)
Obsolete.

DataTable()

Source:
DataTable.cs
Source:

DataTable.cs

Initializes a new instance of the DataTable class with no arguments.

public:

Examples

The following example creates a new DataTable with DataColumn and DataRow, and displays it in a DataGridView control.

private void MakeDataTableAndDisplay()
{
    // Create new DataTable.
    DataTable table = new DataTable();

    // Declare DataColumn and DataRow variables.
    DataColumn column;
    DataRow row;

    // Create new DataColumn, set DataType, ColumnName
    // and add to DataTable.
    column = new DataColumn();
    column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32");
    column.ColumnName = "id";
    table.Columns.Add(column);

    // Create second column.
    column = new DataColumn();
    column.DataType = Type.GetType("System.String");
    column.ColumnName = "item";
    table.Columns.Add(column);

    // Create new DataRow objects and add to DataTable.
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        row = table.NewRow();
        row["id"] = i;
        row["item"] = "item " + i;
        table.Rows.Add(row);
    }
    // Set to DataGrid.DataSource property to the table.
    dataGrid1.DataSource = table;
}
Private Sub MakeDataTableAndDisplay()
   ' Create new DataTable.
   Dim table As New DataTable

   ' Declare DataColumn and DataRow variables.
   Dim column As DataColumn
   Dim row As DataRow

   ' Create new DataColumn, set DataType, ColumnName 
   ' and add to DataTable.    
   column = New DataColumn
   column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")
   column.ColumnName = "id"
   table.Columns.Add(column)

   ' Create second column.
   column = New DataColumn
   column.DataType = Type.GetType("System.String")
   column.ColumnName = "item"
   table.Columns.Add(column)

   ' Create new DataRow objects and add to DataTable.    
   Dim i As Integer
   For i = 0 To 10
      row = table.NewRow
      row("id") = i
      row("item") = "item " & i
      table.Rows.Add(row)
   Next i

   ' Set to DataGrid.DataSource property to the table.
   DataGrid1.DataSource = table
End Sub

Remarks

The constructor sets initial values for all properties of the DataTable object. The following table shows the properties and their default values. When an instance of DataTable is created, the following read/write properties are set to initial values.

Property Default value
CaseSensitive Same as the parent DataSet, if it belongs to one. Otherwise, false.
DisplayExpression Empty string ("")
Locale Same as the parent DataSet object's CultureInfo (returned by the Locale property); if no parent exists, the default is the current system CultureInfo.
MinimumCapacity 50 rows.

You can change the value for any of these properties through a separate call to the property.

Initializes a new instance of the DataTable class with the specified table name.

public:
 DataTable(System::String ^ tableName);
public DataTable (string? tableName);
public DataTable (string tableName);
new System.Data.DataTable : string -> System.Data.DataTable
Public Sub New (tableName As String)

Parameters

Examples

The following example creates a DataTable and displays it in a DataGridView control.

        row["id"] = i;
        row["item"] = "item " + i;
        table.Rows.Add(row);
    }
    // Set to DataGrid.DataSource property to the table.
    dataGrid1.DataSource = table;
}
Private Sub MakeDataTableAndDisplay()
   ' Create new DataTable.
   Dim table As New DataTable("table")

   ' Declare DataColumn and DataRow variables.
   Dim column As DataColumn
   Dim row As DataRow

   ' Create new DataColumn, set DataType, 
   ' ColumnName and add to DataTable.    
   column = New DataColumn
   column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")
   column.ColumnName = "id"
   table.Columns.Add(column)

   ' Create second column.
   column = New DataColumn
   column.DataType = Type.GetType("System.String")
   column.ColumnName = "item"
   table.Columns.Add(column)

   ' Create new DataRow objects and add to DataTable.    
   Dim i As Integer
   For i = 0 To 10
      row = table.NewRow
      row("id") = i
      row("item") = "item " & i

Caution

This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.

Initializes a new instance of the DataTable class with serialized data.

protected:
 DataTable(System::Runtime::Serialization::SerializationInfo ^ info, System::Runtime::Serialization::StreamingContext context);
protected DataTable (System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);
[System.Obsolete("This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.", DiagnosticId="SYSLIB0051", UrlFormat="https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")]
protected DataTable (System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);
new System.Data.DataTable : System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo * System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext -> System.Data.DataTable
[<System.Obsolete("This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.", DiagnosticId="SYSLIB0051", UrlFormat="https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")>]
new System.Data.DataTable : System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo * System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext -> System.Data.DataTable
Protected Sub New (info As SerializationInfo, context As StreamingContext)

Parameters

info
SerializationInfo

The serialized data for the data set.

context
StreamingContext

Contextual information about the serialized stream.

Attributes

Exceptions

.NET 7 and later versions only: info contains binary data.

Remarks

This implementation of the DataTable constructor is required for ISerializable.
