Casting DataTable to typed when using DataTableExtens ions.CopyToData Table

Hi

I have a LINQ query

var query = from t in TypedDataTable
select t

query contains Typed DataRows but I don't seem to be able to cast the
returned DataTable from the DataTableExtens ions.CopyToData Table:

DataSet.TypedTa ble tbl = (DataSet.TypedT able)query.Copy ToDataTable();

What would be the best approach here?

Thanks

There is an overload:

TypedTable table = new TypedTable();
query.CopyToDat aTable(table, LoadOption.Pres erveChanges);

your table should now contain the rows you want.

I haven't tested it (I'm not really a DataTable person...) but give it
a go ;-p

You could perhaps write a custom extension method, but I'm not sure it
would be worth it - since the table isn't an argument you end up
losing type inference...

Hi Linda

I was surprised that the CopyToDataTable method doesn't support Typed
DataTables but the Merge method does what I need.

Thanks

Hello all. I have noticed that when I generate a strongly-typed dataset from an xml schema that the DataTables that are generated have their constructors marked as internal. What this means is when I try to instantiate one of the strongly-typed tables from this dataset from a different assembly, I cannot. Let me provide examples... If I have a simple dataset like this:

Hello, I saw on a couple of recent posts people saying that casting the return value of malloc is bad, like: d=(double *) malloc(50*sizeof(double)); why is this bad? I had always thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the purpose of a void pointer was to cast into a legitimate date type. Is this wrong? Why, and what is considered to be correct form?

When one gets a row from a database (ie, a DataTable), the row contains a typed value in each column. How is this typically implemented behind scenes. I want to build this functionality myself. The reason I want to do this is because I need an in-memory table without any of the overhead of a DataSet or DataTable. Thanks!

Hi, I have a method, which opens a connection, creates an untyped datable, fills it and returns it back. I have defined a typed datatable in my application as well. For some reasons, I have to call the above mentioned method to get data. Unfortunately, as it returns an untyped datatable, I can't assign my typed datatable variable this value (a base type can't be converted into a sub type automatically). Without resorting to looping thru...

I'm querying Index Server to return search results, both regular properties and some custom properties I've created. Index Server has this preference for thinking about information as strings rather than datatypes.If you really work at it, you can configure Index Server to treat the data as, say, sortable DateTime datatypes, or integer datatypes. But I'm finding this a huge pain in the butt, and it bothers me that I'm attaching a bunch of...

I'm a bit puzzled by the current recommendation not to send Datasets or Datatables between application tiers. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306134 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996381.aspx Formerly, with classic Microsoft DNA architecture, the ADO Recordset was a primary transport medium, recommended for transmitting data between application tiers. In fact, there are whole books written on the subject.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
