DataView.Table Property
Gets or sets the source DataTable.
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
The DataTable also has a DefaultView property which returns the default DataView for the table. For example, if you want to create a custom view on the table, set the RowFilter on the DataView returned by the DefaultView.
You can only set the Table property if the current value is null.
The following example gets the DataTable of the current DataView.
private static void DemonstrateDataViewTable()
{
DataTable table = new DataTable();
// add columns
DataColumn column = table.Columns.Add("ProductID",
typeof(int) );
column.AutoIncrement = true;
column = table.Columns.Add("ProductName",
typeof(string));
// populate DataTable.
for(int id=1; id<=5; id++)
{
table.Rows.Add(
new object[]{ id, string.Format("product{0}", id) });
}
DataView view = new DataView(table);
PrintTable(view.Table, "DataTable");
}
private static void PrintTable(DataTable table, string label)
{
// This function prints values in the table or DataView.
Console.WriteLine("\n" + label);
foreach(DataRow row in table.Rows)
{
foreach(DataColumn column in table.Columns)
{
Console.Write("\table{0}", row[column]);
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
