DataRow to multiple DataTableby condition

Help
1

Hi,
I want to convert DataRow to multiple DataTable distingished by condition. I tried to do this way;

1)DataRows dtArray = new DataRows, add value into DataRow
2)DataTable dt1 = new DataTable
3)DataTable dt2 = new DataTable
4)in ForEach row in dtArray, using If condition, do assign dtArra to dt1, dt2
—If row.Item(“COUNTRY”).ToString = “Japan”
------Then dt1 = dtArray.CopyToDataTable()
------Else dt2 = dtArray.CopyToDataTable()

It doesn’t work. The result of dt1 and dt2 is the same, you know…

What I wanna do is to collect “Japan” row to dt1, others row to dt2. How can I do this?

Regards.

use Add Data Row activity in if and else condition and add “row” and respective datatable to the properties.

Thank you for your quick response. I tried your suggestion but got an error;

Add data row : This row already belongs to another table.

I resolved this by using ImportRow method. So now i am OK.:slight_smile:

I wonder why Add data row does not work in my case…Does anyone know the reason why? :frowning:

I guess that the reason is that “Add Row” only works if the row that you try to add does not belong to another table within your program.

DataTable dt1=new DataTable();
DataRow dr1=dt1.NewRow();
DataTable dt2=new DataTable();
dt2.Rows.Add(dr1); // will give you error already dr1 belongs to another datatable in that //case you can do like this
dt2.ImportRow(dr1); // safe
dt1.Rows.Add(dr1); // safe as dr1 Row belongs to DataTable1 so no exception raise

I guess “Add” only works if the row that you try to add does not belong to another tables within your program. Please see the example at below

DataTable dt1=new DataTable();
DataRow dr1=dt1.NewRow();
DataTable dt2=new DataTable();
dt2.Rows.Add(dr1); // will give you error already dr1 belongs to another datatable in that //case you can do like this
dt2.ImportRow(dr1); // safe
dt1.Rows.Add(dr1); // safe as dr1 Row belongs to DataTable1 so no exception raise

Since the row belongs to another table, You can try same activity but instead of row use arrayrow and pass row.itemarray
