Current table name for Data Grid View

Question

Something wrong is happening, when I'm trying to get the name of the table, which is currently shown in DataGridView. To get the table from Oracle, I use this code:

C#

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
OracleDataAdapter ndadptr = new OracleDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM"+               listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString(), OrConn.conn);
ndadptr.Fill(ds);
dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];

But when I'm trying to get current table name with

C#

dataGridView1.DataMember

it returns an empty string. For now, I've created class member Current_Table_Name, and write the selected item from listbox into it. Is there any other solution and how can I get the table name via DataMember property?

this way

C#

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
OracleDataAdapter ndadptr = new OracleDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM "+               listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString(), OrConn.conn);
ndadptr.Fill(ds);
dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
dataGridView1.DataMember = ds.Tables[0].Name;

then you will able to retrieve datamember
