I have a piece of code that filters a datatable based upon the cumilative value of records in a particular field. In short i specify a number and the filter counts through the records (rows) in the datatable and select the records that together are either exactly equal to or do not exceed a specified value (defined in a combo box on a form).[code]...
View 1 Repliesi have a datatable that contains numerous postcodes in the following format[code].....
there is always a space before the last 3 characters now i need to filter the datatable against a list of excluded postcode areas..these are the following format:-
BT1
BT2
BT4
BT40
so its either 2 letters & 1 number or 2 letters & 2 numbers, no 2nd part to the post code..i have a little function which builds the string, and then removes the rows from the dataset like so (ive pasted in an example postcode string)....[code]....
which obviously brings out no records as they all have full postcodes the issue is, i need to be comparing only the first half of postcode BTxx bit but cannot use a % wildcard, as this then would bring out BT40's when i only want, in this example, BT2 & BT4's..so is there a way to make it compare against the first half of the postcode?
im using vb.net winform.i want to update a datatable to sqlserver. but before that. i need to check by comparing it to another datatable(same structure but contain new data). i need to insert new data only.

View 11 RepliesI'm trying to sort a DataTable using the following code:
Private Function sortDataTable(ByVal dTable As DataTable) As DataTable
Dim dView As New DataView(dTable)
dView.Sort = "Field ASC"
Return dTable

But it doesn't work. What is wrong? How can I sort the DataTable?
I was asked this question recently in a test, which I didn't pass. For the life of me, I couldn't spot what the problem was. It's probably something really obvious as well, but even a colleague of mine couldn't spot it either. The best I could come up with was issues with bottlenecks and naming inconsistencies of parameters! I blame it on the fact I've not done any vb.net for years, I've been doing C# mostly these days
[Code]...
The question: This function, although it will successfully sort a datatable, has a major problem with it.What is the problem? Re-write the function in either C# or VB.Net using LINQ.
I currently have a datagridview that is built from a datatable So lets say we have 6 columns
A B C D E G
So the users will select there data from another program and paste into the the table. So lets assume that the data that is pasted is; (the column names are automatically put in)
A B C D E G
123 456 789 101 112 134
So the table will now look like following (I remove the first row because its the same as the column name)
A B C D E G
A B C D E G
123 456 789 101 112 134
My problem is that the users can rearrange thier tables(column index) so lets say user A has the table in this format
A B D E C G
123 456 101 112 789 134
So when they paste into the program, it will look like
A B C D E G
A B D E C G
123 456 101 112 789 134
So now "C" "D" "E" are incorrect and i need to swap those columns to be the same as the column name. I'm not sure how to attack this problem.My thoughts were to paste the data as is, than see what the first row in each column equals.so if it equals "A" assign it an index 0
B 1
C 2
This seems theres too many steps and will slow down the app...
I have got a datatable which contains many columns in which three are main:
hotelid
dshotelid
hotelname
Some hotels contain only dshotelid, some contains only hotelid and some contain both dshotelid and hotelid.
I need sort in such way so that those hotels who got both dshotelid and hotelid should be on top and then those hotels who have got only dshotelid and at last those hotels who have got only hotelid...
create such a sort expression.
I created this :
dtmaintable.DefaultView.Sort = "dshotelid, hotelid"
but it Is not giving me desired output.
I have some comboboxes that are binded to some fields in a datatable

I am creating a datatable and then adding a column to it which is filled with data from existing column and parsed into correct format DateSold is my existing column from my datafile and I create NewDateSold by adding the column to the existing table and then parsing the information in date format.
This is added to a binding source which then is used to populate a combobox I want to be able to sort the combo box by NewDateSold Desc I was able to this on the original column by simply using the "order By" in my query, it seems now that I added new column it is no longer sorted? I am finding different solution such as using dataview and wish to know the best way to do this
First off a great piece of code [URL] you saved me soooo much time. I am a somewhat newbee to VB2010 and was wondering how would i go about setting lets say setting column(4) to a date format so that i can get it to sort in the correct order.
View 8 RepliesI am trying to go through a datatable and sort records that fall within a certain criteria, one being distance.I have a function that will get the distance between two points based on Lon/Lat and my records in table have Lon/Lat Values

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.

If want to do a DataView.Find on a DataTable that is already 'ORDERED' by the Column I am seaching, so a DataView.SORT should not be necessary, but it throws an Exception if I don't give a .sort command before the .find command.

Here I am creating a temp single dimensional array, merging my 2d array into it, and then attempting to sort it by Rolls(N,1), which is a integer 1-6, Everything seems to be working right with the exception of this.

How would one specify a numeral sort based on the first character in the string? im aware that I am switching Rolls(n,1) and Rolls(n,0) information during the sort.

I have a datagridview bound to a datatable setting its datasource property to the datatable. I would like to have a child form that contains a list of columns associated with the datatable that contains a checkbox that will allow the user to hide and show the columns ( I do not know the best control to use here) (I assume this is the easy part as All i need to do is loop through each of the datatable's columns to get the column name)
now I would like save these visible columns on some event like form_closing so that the next time the user opens the form up it will remember the settings
I came across a problem with using a BindingSource as my DataGridViews.DataSource. Whenever I applied a filter to a column in the BindingSource and the user makes changes that don't match the column filter the DataGridViewRows would automatically disappear. A similar thing would happen when applying a Sort to a column. If the user made any changes the DridGirdViewRows would automatically sort causing rows to be moved around. This was not ideal for my application and there isn't anyway to stop this from happening with the BindingSource.
To correct this issue I have to use subsets of data. I use a DataView to apply the filter and sort to the main DataTable, which creates the subset DataTable.The problem is when I use the DataView.ToTable method I loose the Primary Key and RowError information. So I have to reapply this information everytime the user filters or sorts the DataGridView.Is there a better way to get a subset DataTable?[code]...
