DataTable can be search/filtered using LINQ.
Here is how to create a datatable:
Dim dTable As New DataTable("TableName")
Add columns to the datatable
dTable.Columns.Add("Column1", GetType(Integer)) dTable.Columns.Add("Column2", GetType(String)) dTable.Columns.Add("Column3", GetType(Date)) dTable.Columns.Add("Column4", GetType(Double))
Add rows to the datatable
dTable.Rows.Add({1, "Hello", Now.Date, 5.6}) dTable.Rows.Add({2, "World", New Date(2011, 2, 1), Math.PI})
You can also add rows using the following code:
Dim dRow As DataRow dRow = dTable.NewRow dRow("Column1") = 3 dRow("Column1") = "Hello World" dRow("Column1") = Now.Date dRow("Column1") = 4.6 dTable.Rows.Add(dRow)
To bind the datatable to the DataGridView control:
'Change DataGridView1 to the name of your DataGridView control DataGridView1.DataSource = dTable
To filter the datable, you can use any of the two codes.
'Filtering using DataTable.Select() method 'This method is very slow if you have a lot of rows. Dim dResult1() As DataRow = dTable.Select("Column1 = 3")
'Filtering using LINQ. 'This is the recommended approach if you are working on large set of data. Dim dResult2 = From dItem As DataRow In dTable.AsEnumerable Where dItem("Column1") = 3 Select dItem
