Select from DataTable

I have a DataTable loaded in memory that looks like this:

Product - Qty
1001 - 3
1001 - 5
1080 - 8

I need it like that, and I also need that data to look like this:
Product - Qty
1001 - 8
1080 - 8

Is there a way to GROUP BY Product?
Maybe by running a select query on that DataTable, or some kind of
DataView?

I would prefer not to go back to the database.

Thank you,

Matthew

The DataTable has a Compute method, that can do this on a one by one product
basis.

However, that's not really a good substitute for a query with a GROUP BY.

The DataTable cannot do anything else for you - it is not an in memory
database engine. It is just an in memory set of data.

Your best bet is to go back to the database.

Oh well. I guess I can make that work.

Thank you!
