I need to copy a dataview into a datatable. It seems like the only way to do so is to iterate through the dataview item by item and copy over to a datatable. There has to be a better way.
dt = DataView.ToTable()
OR
dt = DataView.Table.Copy()
,
OR
dt = DataView.Table.Clone()
;
The answer does not work for my situation because I have columns with expressions. DataView.ToTable()
will only copy the values, not the expressions.
First I tried this:
//clone the source table
DataTable filtered = dt.Clone();
//fill the clone with the filtered rows
foreach (DataRowView drv in dt.DefaultView)
{
filtered.Rows.Add(drv.Row.ItemArray);
}
dt = filtered;
but that solution was very slow, even for just 1000 rows.
The solution that worked for me is:
//create a DataTable from the filtered DataView
DataTable filtered = dt.DefaultView.ToTable();
//loop through the columns of the source table and copy the expression to the new table
foreach (DataColumn dc in dt.Columns)
{
if (dc.Expression != "")
{
filtered.Columns[dc.ColumnName].Expression = dc.Expression;
}
}
dt = filtered;
