Hi,

I need help binding the DataTable to the GridView.

Let's say I have this code

string filter = String.Format("title LIKE '{0}'", str);    
DataRow[] rows = dt.Select(filter, "title");


Gridview1.DataSource = ?;
Gridview1.DataBind();

I need to display only the filtered items in the GridView. What do I assign to DataSource? I tried rows but that gave me an error.

Thanks.

you can create dataview from your datatable. Then use RowFilter property of dataview to filter the data. and then assign your dataview to Gridview.DataSource property. I mean you can bind with dataview.

Hi

Just bind the grid like this ...

Gridview1.DataSource = dt.Select(filter, "title");
Gridview1.DataBind();

Mark as solved if it helps you!!!

I tried the code below but it did not work. The GridView is not populating.

Gridview1.DataSource = dt.Select(filter, "title");
      Gridview1.DataBind();

This is what my GridView looks like:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
      </asp:GridView>

I also tried DataView.

DataView view = dt.DefaultView;
      view.RowFilter = String.Format("title LIKE '{0}'", str);
      GridView1.DataSource = view;   
      GridView1.DataBind();

It works for the first time and that's it. Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks

I believe it's working now.
This is what I have now:

DataView view = new DataView(dt);
 view.RowFilter = String.Format("title LIKE '{0}'", str);
 GridView1.DataSource = view;
 GridView1.DataBind();

Now, I need to apply a function to 'view' before I bind it to the GridView. Something like this AsciiToString(view). Of course it's not working. Any idea how to apply it correctly? Thanks.

Here is the function:

private static string AsciiToString(string content)
    {
        //StringBuilder sbTemp = new StringBuilder(content.Length);
        string StrValue = "";
        while (content.Length > 0)
        {
            // convert each ASCII value to the actual character
            StrValue += System.Convert.ToChar(System.Convert.ToInt32(content.Substring(0, 3))).ToString();
            // Remove the converted value
            content = content.Substring(3, content.Length - 3);

            // content = sbTemp.ToString();
        }
        content = StrValue;
        return content;
    }

Hi,
Please refer to my post on
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post1256376.html

Dim dv As New DataView()
With dv
	.Table = ds.Tables(0)
	.RowFilter = "dataColumnName='A%'"
End With
yourGridView.DataSource = dv
yourGridView.DataBind()

Thanks.
