Property Value

A string that specifies how rows are to be filtered. For more information, see the Remarks section.

To form a RowFilter value, specify the name of a column followed by an operator and a value to filter on. The value must be in quotation marks. For example:

"LastName = 'Smith'"

See the Expression property of the DataColumn class for more information.

To return only those columns with null values, use the following expression:

"Isnull(Col1,'Null Column') = 'Null Column'"

The following example creates a DataView and sets its RowFilter property.

Private Sub MakeDataView()
    Dim view As DataView = New DataView
    With view
        .Table = DataSet1.Tables("Suppliers")
        .AllowDelete = True
        .AllowEdit = True
        .AllowNew = True
        .RowFilter = "City = 'Berlin'"
        .RowStateFilter = DataViewRowState.ModifiedCurrent
        .Sort = "CompanyName DESC"
    End With
    
    ' Simple-bind to a TextBox control
    Text1.DataBindings.Add("Text", view, "CompanyName")
End Sub
