How to create a datatable object from a datarow [].


I have an array of datarow . Is there a performance efficient way of
deriving a datatable oject
containing only the rows in my array. ?

I want to avoid uding foreach .

Many thanks

where did you get the array of datarows?? the only way i know of is
looping through them and using dt.Rows.Add(... ); if there's a better
way, i'd also like to know...

Here is the code:

DataSet ds=GetDataSet() ;
DataTable dt=ds.Tables[0];

int i=5, j=11;

if(dt.Rows.Coun t-i>0)

{

DataRow[] selectedRows=ne w DataRow[(j-i)];

for(int index=0; index<selectedR ows.Length; index++)

{

selectedRows[index]=dt.Rows[i+index];

}
return selectedRows;

Hi,

What about using a DataView ?

Cheers,

Could you please explain based on the code posted earlier?

Basically, it would be along the lines of:

DataSet ds=GetDataSet() ;
DataTable dt=ds.Tables[0];
DataView dv = new DataView(dt, "filter expression", "sort expression",
DataViewRowStat e.CurrentRows)
return dv;

where "filter expression" would be exactly as you'd write it in a WHERE
clause, and sort expression just as you'd write it in a ORDER BY.

Presumably, you have a better way of expressing the subset you want to
filter on, than "rows 5 thru 11"/

That is the problem. I see no obvious way of doing this through a sort
expression.

5 through 11 is in fact almost what i'm trying to do. I have a datatable
with n rows.

each time i only wnat to subtract a subset and the nex subset the next time
and so on.
I see no obvious way to this with sql.
Do you?
