DataView

Using VS2005, VB.NET,
I know that I can use a DataView to constrain what rows are "seen"
from the underlying datatable - is it also possible to use a DataView
to constrain what columns/attributes "seen" from the underlying
datatable? If so, can you point me to an example.

Thanks for your attention to this...

As far as I know, you would have to create a separate datatable for each
possible set of columns you want to view. You can use the DataViewManager to
point a single dataview to each datatable, (assuming you add the datatables
to a dataset), then apply the row filter.

Use
MyDataView.Data ViewManager.Dat aSet = MyDataSet
to point to the dataset that contains the DataTables.

Use
Dim dvs As DataViewSetting = MyDataView.Data ViewManager. _
DataViewSetting s("MyTableName" ) '(overloaded with 3 parameter types)
to point to the datatable containing the columns you want viewed,

Then Use
dvs.rowfilter = your selection criteria
to apply a rowfilter to the DataViewSetting 's underlying DataView.

Another possibility, if your users are viewing the DataView through a
DataGrid, would be to dynamically add and remove columns from the grid, or
dynamically resize the columns you want to exclude to zero.

Hi,

This has a simple answer, "No". There is in fact no need for that, because
all controls have the possibility to filter the columns. Beside that you can
create in the versions after 2003 a not dynamic copy of a datatable using
the dataview overloaded method for that.

I have a window application. In one of the form, a datagrid has a dataview as its datasource. Initial filtering result would give the datavew 3 items.

Based on a prior posting, I've written a function to convert a recordset to a dataview. The first call to the function for a given recordset works perfectly, but the second call always returns a dataview with a count = 0. Can someone explain why and how I might work around this problem? Here is the code for my function: Public Shared Function GetViewFromRS(ByVal pRS As ADODB.Recordset) _ As DataView

I have a form with a dataset and a datagrid. I created a dataview on this dataset. When the user modifies the datagrid, I look up this record in the dataview to make sure it is unique. Here is the confusion......... I thought that the DataView is the view from the dataset, but it seems that the dataview has the records that are in the datagrid, because everytime I search for a record that I know is NOT in the dataset, it finds it.

I'm trying to find a way to keep from having to fill a DataView after every PostBack to a page. Basically, the design is that I have a DataView that I fill, which I then set as the DataSource to a DataGrid on my page. This works well, however, like I said, I would like to keep from having to fill the DataView on each PostBack. So, naturally, what I did was checked whether or not the request was a PostBack by checking the IsPostBack...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
