Forms Data Controls :: Specify Which Columns Are In A DataView From A DataTable?
Mar 24, 2010
HOW TO specify which columns are in a DataView from a DataTable. I want to create a DataView, that only has the columns from a DataTable that I choose, and in the order I want.
Example:
// DataTable_MyTable ~~ Column #0 is for ID. I do not want my view to get this column.
// DataTable_MyTable ~~ Column #1 is for TYPE. I want this column to come in 2nd place in my view.
// DataTable_MyTable ~~ Column #2 is for NAME. I want this column to com in 1st place in my view.
DataView DataView_MyView = new DataView(DataTable_MyTable ~~ some how only get the columns I want, and in the order I want ~~);
// DataView_MyView now has only 2 columns.
// DataView_MyView ~~ Column #0 is NAME.
// DataView_MyView ~~ Column #1 is TYPE.
I am doing GridView Sorting without ObjectDataSource. For this requirement I need to convert DataTable to DataView, I know I can do that in VS 2008 but How can I do this in VS 2005.
I've built a User Control that contains a ListView. To make it work I need to pass to it a DataTable. The columns of this DataTable need to have particular names that match up with what the ListView is expecting. I have a large DataTable that I need to massage/convert over to this different format. To do that I need to filter out columns and rename the column names. The actual data in the DataTable doesn't need to change. Is there a good way to do this without actually instantiating a new DataTable and copying the data from the large DataTable into it?
How to fetch data in gridview and add newly added item column in same column? As I know fetch data in gridview, my prob is add new data in new column in gridview.
I'm looking for the best way (Performance) to do gridview columns formating RunTime /Dynamic depending on the datatable Columns type ,I want to bind the datatable to a gridview and format the Date columns to short date, and currency columns formatted with comma ex 10,000.00 inplace 100000.00 at datatable the column type is double run time (without converting them to String) since I do a filtering and sorting at these columns.
How to select top n rows from a datatable/dataview in asp.net.currently I am using the following code by passing the table and number of rows to get the records but is there a better way.
public DataTable SelectTopDataRow(DataTable dt, int count)
{ DataTable dtn = dt.Clone(); for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { dtn.ImportRow(dt.Rows[i]); } return dtn; }
I have a page which lists all the files in a particular folder (all PDFs), using a data-table and gridview.
I'm currently sorting this table by the filename (by using a dataview), which isn't that helpful, and I want the gridview of files sorted by the file created or file modified date (as recorded in Windows).
If that's not possible, a second option would be to extract the date from the file name string (no problem doing that), and sort the dataview/datatable or gridview based on that. Example Filename: DailySalesReport-1-15-2010. My only hangup with this is how do I sort on date, when it's a string value? Convert to date? How would I sort the whole dataset based on this converted value?
I have a datatable with 17 columns and a bunch of data. I wnat a datatable with only 6 of the columns and the data for those 6 columns. So I need a subset of the original datatable. How do I loop through the original datatable with 17 columns and end up with a datatable with only the 6 columns I want with the corresponding data for those 6 columns?
If I am passed a datatable and I cant change the column structure..is there anyway to set an existing column to a Primary key so I can easily Find() the row I am looking for?
I have a datatable which contains the summery row as well. I just assign the datasource property of a gridview and call databind method to fill and display the records.
Now, when I applied sorting through dataview to the gridview, the sorting happens along with the summery row, which is a normal behavior. As a result the "Total" - column took place inside the data some times. I want to prevent this.
The best way out for that can be done by creating the summery row at grid view row databound. But unfortunately I could not change the datatable as per this requirement.
Can the dataview sorting exclude the last row of the datatable through any process?..
