Indexing a datatable column

[Ronchese]

Hey All!

I would like to create a index to a column in my datatable (full created in
memory). That's because I'll search that column a lot, and this manner I
want to improve the search speedy on that.

How can I create that index?

Ps: I can't use the PrimaryKey property to this case, because that columns
can have duplicate values.

Ronchese,
By implementing the hashtable in this you are already there, however can you
show us which search method you did use. There are four to use, did you try
them all?

Cor,

I'm using the .Select() method of the Datatable, to find the row.

Ronchese,

I'm using the .Select() method of the Datatable, to find the row.

The slowest one :-)

Have a look at
Dataview.rowfilter

Datarowcollection.find

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sfindtopic.asp

Dataview.find

I hope this helps,

Cor,

once the DataView is sorted by a column, is true that it will perform some
quick algoritm to find data in that column? If yes, is what I'm searching.
