    // Insert code to populate a DataTable with data.

    // Bind grid to DataTable.
    dataGrid1.DataSource = table;

 
private void ChangeRowFilter()
{
    DataTable gridTable = (DataTable) dataGrid1.DataSource;

    // Set the RowFilter to display a company names that 
    // begin with A through I..
    gridTable.DefaultView.RowFilter = "CompanyName < 'I'";
