DataTable and Its Methods in

The DataTable class in ADO.NET represents relational data in a tabular format similar to tables in SQL. It allows creating and manipulating in-memory data independently or loading data from a database table. The DataTable consists of DataColumn and DataRow objects and provides methods like Copy() and Clone() to duplicate the table structure and data. Copy() returns a full copy of the table while Clone() only copies the structure without rows of data.

DataTable And Its Methods In ADO.

Net
DataTable
 DataTable represents relational data into Tabular Form.
 DataTable in C# is similar to the Tables in SQL.
 ADO.NET provides a DataTable class to create and use
data table independently or we can get data from database
table in DataTable.
 It can also be used with DataSet also.
 Initially, when we create DataTable, it does not have table
schema (table structure).
 We can create table schema by adding columns and
constraints to the table.
 After defining table schema (table structure), we can add
rows to the table.
 DataTable is a combination of DataColumn and DataRow.
 We must include System.Data namespace before creating
DataTable.
Properties Of DataColumn in ADO.Net
 Caption
 DataType
 AllowDBNull
 MaxLength
 PrimaryKey -> Property of DataTable
 AutoIncrement
o AutoIncrementSeed -> Starting Value

o AutoIncrementStep -> Incremented Value

 DefaultValue
 Unqiue

Copy() & Clone() Methods Of DataTable


 DataTable.Copy() returns a DataTable with the structure
and data of the DataTable.
 DataTable.Clone() only returns the structure of the
DataTable, not the rows or data of the DataTable.
