I have one big DataTable with X rows. I want to select Y rows from it and bind them to a new ViewList. While doing it, I want to delete these rows from the DataTable (Having X - Y rows).
What is the best and fast way to do it?
I don't know if it is better to create a new DataTable to have the Y and after that bind them to a ViewList or something else?
I'm also looking for example in code how to select/delete rows from DataTable.

I want to write a LINQ to Entity query which does order by ascending or descending based on input parameter, Is there any way for that. Following is the my code.
public List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> GetPendingApproval(SortOrder sortOrder)
{
List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> returnList = new List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
int pendingStateId = Convert.ToInt32(State.Pending);
//If the sort order is ascending
if (sortOrder == SortOrder.ASC)
{
var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail
where e.ActiveStatusID == pendingStateId
orderby e.HostingProviderName ascending
select e;
returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
return returnList;
}
else
{
var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail
where e.StateID == pendingStateId
orderby e.HostingProviderName descending
select e;

I need to retrieve and display directory files in descending order. For example:
file-02_01_2010.txt should display before file-01_01_2010.
I am using DirectoryInfo.getfile(searchPattern) but that will return files in random order (or maybe ascending order, I am not sure). Is there a way to specify the order in which I need files to be returned? I know I can load them into an array, sort them, etc., etc., but is there any cleaner way?
I came across the below article, I would like to know how to properly respond to the drop or stop event so that I can show the Save button only once someone changed the order. In other words, I would like the Save button hidden initially, only to make it visible once a drag and drop has occurred.

View 2 RepliesI have a datatable with the ordering of its DataClassIndex column before editting:
DataclassIndex 0 1 2 3 4
When I start modifying some other cells in this datatable, the ordering of DataClassIndex column changes to something like this
DataclassIndex 3 4 2 1 0
How can I modify a datatable content without altering the original order of the datatable.
I have a dataset generated from xml from a web service.Data needs to be sorted by date order descending, I cannot get the web service changed so thought I'd try:
Code:
repeater1.DataSource = dsCombinedBlock.Tables(2).Select("Status < 3 and status <> 99", "DateReceived desc")
However the dates are treated as a string so the results look like
28/06/2011
27/06/2011
27/06/2011
02/06/2011
01/07/2011

What I have is a command column with 2 link buttons, Review and Update. The Review link will show a more in depth look at the record (pretty much a detailsview) The Update link will allow the user to edit a few select fields. The Update link works fine, because I put the code in the GridView3_SelectedIndexChanged event. When I click the Review link (which has code in the LinkButton1_Click event), there is no data from the Selected row, because the row is not yet selected. Is there a way to trigger the selection BEFORE the button click event? It seems like this should be easy, but I haven't needed to do this before.
