Brian,
You do realize that you can use DataTable.Clone to "create a new table based
off the original table structure"?
Then you only need a single loop to add the respective rows to the new
DataTable.
Unless of course you are modifying the structure itself of the original
DataTable.
BTW: DataTable.Clone will copy the structure of an existing DataTable, while
DataTable.Copy will copy the structure & data of an existing DataTable.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. I wrote a method to create a new table based off the
original table structure and then add the rows into it. Lots of loops!

beasties so you can't cast them.

news:em*************@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... I'm using a third-party tool that takes a DataTable as a parameter. I
really need to pass it a DataView instead. When I try to explicitly cast the
DataView as a DataTable I get an error that they aren't compatible
data types. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this?
My last resort is to create a new DataTable object and copy the rows
from the DataView into the DataTable. But this is an ugly hack and I really
hope there is a better solution.
Thanks.
