In a DataSet, the collection of all parent DataRelation objects for the data set is returned by the GetParentRows method.
The DataTable also contains a collection of DataRelation objects, returned by the ParentRelations property.
The following example uses the GetParentRow to print a value from each parent row of each DataRow in a DataTable.
private void GetParentRowForTable( DataTable thisTable, string relation) { if(thisTable ==null){return;} // For each row in the table, print column 1 // of the parent DataRow. DataRow parentRow; foreach(DataRow row in thisTable.Rows) { parentRow = row.GetParentRow(relation); Console.Write("\table child row: " + row[1]); Console.Write("\table parent row: " + parentRow[1]+ "\n"); } } private void CallGetParentRowForTable() { // An example of calling the function. DataTable thisTable = DataSet1.Tables["Products"]; DataRelation relation = thisTable.ParentRelations[0]; GetParentRowForTable(thisTable, relation.RelationName); }
