从查询创建数据表 (LINQ to DataSet)

数据绑定是 DataTable 对象的一种常用形式。 CopyToDataTable 方法接收查询结果并将数据复制到 DataTable 中,后者随后会使用该数据进行数据绑定。 在执行数据操作后,新的 DataTable 将合并回源 DataTable

CopyToDataTable 方法使用下面的过程来通过查询创建 DataTable

  1. CopyToDataTable 方法克隆源表中的 DataTable(实现 DataTable 接口的 IQueryable<T> 对象)。 IEnumerable 源通常来源于 LINQ to DataSet 表达式或方法查询。

  2. 克隆的 DataTable 的架构从源表中枚举的第一个 DataRow 对象的列生成,克隆表的名称是源表的名称后面追加单词“query”。

  3. 对于源表中的每一行,会将行内容复制到新 DataRow 对象中,然后将该对象插入到克隆表中。 RowStateRowError 属性在整个复制操作过程中保留。 如果源中的 ArgumentException 对象来自不同的表,则会引发 DataRow

  4. 复制完可查询的输入表中的所有 DataTable 对象后,将返回克隆的 DataRow。 如果源序列不包含任何 DataRow 对象,则该方法将返回一个空 DataTable

调用 CopyToDataTable 方法将导致执行绑定到源表的查询。

CopyToDataTable 方法在源表的行中遇到空引用或可以为 null 的值类型时,它将用 Value 替换该值。 这样可以在返回的 DataTable 中正确处理 Null 值。

注意:CopyToDataTable 方法接受可从多个 DataTableDataSet 对象返回行的查询作为输入。 CopyToDataTable 方法将数据(不包括属性)从源 DataTableDataSet 对象复制到返回的 DataTable。 您将需要显式设置返回的 DataTable 的属性,例如 LocaleTableName

下面的示例查询 SalesOrderHeader 表中 2001 年 8 月 8 日以后的订单,并使用 CopyToDataTable 方法通过查询创建 DataTable。 然后将 DataTable 绑定到作为 BindingSource 的代理的 DataGridView

// Bind the System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView object
// to the System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource object.
dataGridView.DataSource = bindingSource;

// Fill the DataSet.
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.Locale = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
FillDataSet(ds);

DataTable orders = ds.Tables["SalesOrderHeader"];

// Query the SalesOrderHeader table for orders placed
// after August 8, 2001.
IEnumerable<DataRow> query =
    from order in orders.AsEnumerable()
    where order.Field<DateTime>("OrderDate") > new DateTime(2001, 8, 1)
    select order;

// Create a table from the query.
DataTable boundTable = query.CopyToDataTable<DataRow>();

// Bind the table to a System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource object,
// which acts as a proxy for a System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView object.
bindingSource.DataSource = boundTable;
' Bind the System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView object
' to the System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource object.
dataGridView.DataSource = bindingSource

' Fill the DataSet.
Dim ds As New DataSet()
ds.Locale = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture
' See the FillDataSet method in the Loading Data Into a DataSet topic.
FillDataSet(ds)

Dim orders As DataTable = ds.Tables("SalesOrderHeader")

' Query the SalesOrderHeader table for orders placed
'  after August 8, 2001.
Dim query = _
    From order In orders.AsEnumerable() _
    Where order.Field(Of DateTime)("OrderDate") > New DateTime(2001, 8, 1) _
    Select order

' Create a table from the query.
Dim boundTable As DataTable = query.CopyToDataTable()

' Bind the table to a System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource object,
' which acts as a proxy for a System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView object.
bindingSource.DataSource = boundTable

创建自定义 CopyToDataTable<T> 方法

仅在 CopyToDataTable 源上(其中泛型参数 IEnumerable<T> 类型为 T)执行现有 DataRow 方法。 虽然这十分有用,但是它并不允许从标量类型的序列、返回匿名类型的查询或执行表联接的查询来创建表。 有关如何实现从一系列标量或匿名类型加载表的两个自定义 CopyToDataTable 方法的示例,请参阅如何:在泛型类型 T 不是数据行的情况下实现 CopyToDataTable<T>

本节的示例使用以下自定义类型:

public class Item
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public double Price { get; set; }
    public string Genre { get; set; }
}

public class Book : Item
{
    public string Author { get; set; }
}

public class Movie : Item
{
    public string Director { get; set; }
}
Public Class Item
    Private _Id As Int32
    Private _Price As Double
    Private _Genre As String

    Public Property Id() As Int32
        Get
            Return Id
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Int32)
            _Id = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property Price() As Double
        Get
            Return _Price
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Double)
            _Price = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property Genre() As String
        Get
            Return _Genre
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _Genre = value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class
Public Class Book
    Inherits Item
    Private _Author As String
    Public Property Author() As String
        Get
            Return _Author
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _Author = value
        End Set
    End Property
End Class

Public Class Movie
    Inherits Item
    Private _Director As String
    Public Property Director() As String
        Get
            Return _Director
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _Director = value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class

示例

此示例在 SalesOrderHeaderSalesOrderDetail 表上执行联接以获得八月的联机订单,并从查询创建表。

// Fill the DataSet.
var ds = new DataSet
{
    Locale = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture
};
FillDataSet(ds);

DataTable orders = ds.Tables["SalesOrderHeader"];
DataTable details = ds.Tables["SalesOrderDetail"];

var query =
    from order in orders.AsEnumerable()

        .SalesOrderDetailID = detail.Field(Of Integer)("SalesOrderDetailID"), _
        .OrderDate = order.Field(Of DateTime)("OrderDate"), _
        .ProductID = detail.Field(Of Integer)("ProductID") _
    }

Dim table As DataTable = query.CopyToDataTable()
