Please help me guys, what i really want is to copy data(1 or all data) in datatable1 to datatable2. Im stuck of my code, dunno if it is correct
dt1 = ds1.Tables(0)
        Dim dt2 As DataTable = ds2.Tables(0)


        da1 = New MySqlDataAdapter("select s_inventoryTab_name, s_inventoryTab_stockonhand,s_inventoryTab_jan,s_inventoryTab_feb from s_medicinetab where s_inventoryTab_year = '" & 2016 & "'", con)
        da1.Fill(ds1)


        For i As Integer = 0 To dt2.Rows.Count - 1
            dt1.ImportRow(dt2.Rows(i))

        Next

I dont know if my code is correct.If there are some method, please guide me. Thanks guys

What I have tried:

It seems this code is correct but i dont understand
DataTable dtTarget = new DataTable();
    dtTarget = dtSource.Clone();
    DataRow[] rowsToCopy;
    rowsToCopy = dtSource.Select("key='" + matchString + "'");
    foreach (DataRow temp in rowsToCopy)
    {
        dtTarget.ImportRow(temp);
    }

If you don't know if it's correct or not, how would you expect us to know?

I am really sorry sir, my problem is where should i put the INSERT sql on the first example.

1 solution

DataTable.Clone only copies the structure/scheme - and does NOT copy the data. Your 2nd code block is illustrating that (it clones the table and then copies the data one row at a time).


If you want both the schema AND the data, use the DataTable.Copy method.

so if i use DataTable.Copy, there's no need to use INSERT sql or something to save the data to datatable2? uhmm its a little bit confuse
