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 Sub DemonstrateDataViewTable() Dim table As DataTable = New DataTable() ' add columns Dim column As DataColumn = table.Columns.Add("ProductID", GetType(Integer)) column.AutoIncrement = True column = table.Columns.Add("ProductName", GetType(String)) ' populate DataTable. Dim id As Integer For id = 1 To 5 table.Rows.Add(New Object() {id, String.Format("product{0}", id)}) Next id Dim view As DataView = New DataView(table) PrintTable(view.Table, "DataTable") End Sub Private Sub PrintTable(ByVal table As DataTable, ByVal label As String) ' This function prints values in the table or DataView. Console.WriteLine("\n" + label) Dim row As DataRow Dim column As DataColumn For Each row In table.Rows For Each column In table.Columns Console.Write("\table{0}", row(column)) Next column Next row Console.WriteLine() End Sub
