I am a little confused as too what you want to do, so check if this is correct.

You have two forms:

a) form2 which contains a DataGridView that gets the table from a database.

b) form3 which does some other procesing and wants to supply information to the DataGridView of form2.

c) form3 cannot access the DataGridView of form2.

If this is the case, then it is bad practice to access such members of form2, as it means that form3 becomes reliant on the internal structure of form2. A change to form2 requires a change in form3, which means that form3 cannot be reused easily.

The better way to do this is for form3 to signal an event to form2 ("Update ready" or similar) and provide any necessary data via a queue in form3, or via the event argument.

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.

How to Split one datatable to many datatables?

Hi !! Have a good day

I have a question, please help me !
I want to split a datatable into many datatables, how to do that by c#.net.
Example : datatable is: DA has 250 rows ==> split into 3 datatable : DA1 (100rows) , DA2(100 rows), DA3(50rows)
If datatable DA has 1000 rows, ==> split into 10 datatables, ( thats mean one datatable have less than 100rows)

Thanks for your help!

You will have to loop through the rows and copy them into a new datatable. You can also use DataTable.Select method as well instead of looping through all the rows.

It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus, 2009 AD

The simplest way would be to write a loop that iterated over the DataTable and allocate rows accordingly. When you do this, you need to clone the table structure, and use ImportRow to copy the row from one table to another. If you attempt to copy the row over directly, you'll get a "row belongs to another table" error. The following method does what you want:

private List<DataTable> CloneTable(DataTable tableToClone, int countLimit)
{
    List<DataTable> tables = new List<DataTable>();
    int count = 0;
    DataTable copyTable = null;
    foreach (DataRow dr in tableToClone.Rows)
    {
        if ((count++ % countLimit) == 0)
        {
            copyTable = new DataTable();
            // Clone the structure of the table.
            copyTable = tableToClone.Clone();
            // Add the new DataTable to the list.
            tables.Add(copyTable);
        }
        // Import the current row.
        copyTable.ImportRow(dr);
    }
    return tables;
}

I will try to shorten this question. If I have the following class:

public class MyClass
{
public int MyInt {get; set;}
public Button MyBtn {get; set;}
}

Now, let's say I have a for-loop that generates several objects of this class and hooks it up to an event handler like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
            {
                MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
                myClass.MyInt = i;
                myClass.MyBtn = new Button();
                myClass.MyBtn.Click += (s, e) =>
                {
                    //Is it possible to get the value of 'myClass.MyInt'
                    //in this event handler since 'myClass.MyBtn' belongs
                    //to the same object?
                };
            }

So, my question is: Is it possible to get the value of 'myClass.MyInt' when the button is clicked? I mean, 'myClass.MyBtn' and 'myClass.MyInt' belongs to the same object. The problem is that I must hook up all buttons to the same event handler.

Thanks for help!

If you look at the method declaration for your event handler, you'll see a parameter called s of type object - by convention, this is the object that raised the event. So, all you need do is cast s to Button as in:

Button button = s as Button;
if (button != null)
{
  // Do something...
}

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I know I can get the object that raised that event. But that object belongs to an object 'myClass' which in turn contains 'myClass.MyInt'. Is it possible to get which of the 'myClass.MyBtn' that raised the event. If I can get that I would also be able to read out the value of 'myClass.MyInt'

stancrm11-Aug-09 22:07

11-Aug-09 22:07

Yes. There are 5 MyClass instances and you can use one method for all events. This is better :

private List<MyButton> myButtons = new List<MyButton>();
private void CreateButtons()
{
  for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
  {
    MyButton myButton = new MyButton();
    myButton.MyInt = i;
    myButton.Click += new EventHandler(myButton_Click);
    myButtons.Add(myButton);
  }
}

private void myButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  MyButton myButton = sender as MyButton;
  if(myButton != null)
  {
    MessageBox.Show(myButton.MyInt.ToString());
  }
}


public class MyButton : Button
{
  private int myInt;

  public int MyInt
  {
    get { return myInt; }
    set { myInt = value; }
  }
}

You don't even need an extra class, you could store the MyClass reference inside the Button using myClass.MyBtn.Tag=myClass; so later an event handler could convert its sender to Button to MyClass instance.

In your example code: yes.
Just use myClass.MyInt. The lambda expression will capture the myClass variable, so every event handler will know to which MyClass instance it belongs.
You should not capture the i variable - that would always be 5 because the loop has terminated when the event executes.
But capturing variables declared inside the loop will give you the value from the corresponding iteration.
