The DefaultView property returns a DataView you can use to sort, filter, and search a DataTable.
The following example sets a property of the DataTable object's DataView through the DefaultView property. The example also shows the binding of a DataGridView control to a DataTable named "Suppliers" that includes a column named "CompanyName."
Private Sub BindDataGrid()
Dim table As New DataTable
' Insert code to populate a DataTable with data.
' Bind DataGrid to DataTable
DataGrid1.DataSource = table
End Sub
Private Sub ChangeRowFilter()
Dim gridTable As DataTable = _
CType(dataGrid1.DataSource, DataTable)
' Set the RowFilter to display a company names
' that begin with A through I.
gridTable.DefaultView.RowFilter = "CompanyName < 'I'"
End Sub
private void BindDataGrid()
{
DataTable table = new DataTable();
// 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'";
