Remarks

A DataRelationCollection object enables navigation between related parent/child DataTable objects.

You create a DataRelationCollection object by defining it as a property of either the DataSet or the DataTable, instead of by directly using a constructor. (Use the Relations property of the DataSet, or the ParentRelations property of the DataTable.)

To access the collection, use the Relations property of the DataSet object.

As soon as the collection exists you can manage the objects it contains by using methods such as Add, Clear, and Remove.

Constructors

DataRelationCollection()

Initializes a new instance of the DataRelationCollection class.

Add(DataColumn[], DataColumn[])

Creates a DataRelation with the specified parent and child columns, and adds it to the collection.

Add(DataRelation)

Adds a DataRelation to the DataRelationCollection.

Add(String, DataColumn, DataColumn)

Creates a DataRelation with the specified name, and parent and child columns, and adds it to the collection.

Add(String, DataColumn, DataColumn, Boolean)

Creates a DataRelation with the specified name, parent and child columns, with optional constraints according to the value of the createConstraints parameter, and adds it to the collection.

Add(String, DataColumn[], DataColumn[])

Creates a DataRelation with the specified name and arrays of parent and child columns, and adds it to the collection.

Add(String, DataColumn[], DataColumn[], Boolean)

(Inherited from Object)
IndexOf(DataRelation)

Gets the index of the specified DataRelation object.

IndexOf(String)

Gets the index of the DataRelation specified by name.

MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
OnCollectionChanged(CollectionChangeEventArgs)

Raises the CollectionChanged event.

OnCollectionChanging(CollectionChangeEventArgs)

Raises the CollectionChanged event.

Remove(DataRelation)

Removes the specified relation from the collection.

Remove(String)

Removes the relation with the specified name from the collection.

RemoveAt(Int32)

Removes the relation at the specified index from the collection.

RemoveCore(DataRelation)
