Converting DataView To DataTable

We oftenly need to convert DataView to DataTable during development. Here I have created a generic function to convert a DataView object to DataTable object. You have to just call this function to get DataTable object of DataView object.


public static DataTable CreateTable(DataView obDataView)
{
if (null == obDataView)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("DataView", "Invalid DataView object specified");
}
DataTable obNewDt = obDataView.Table.Clone();
int idx = 0;
string[] strColNames = new string[obNewDt.Columns.Count];
foreach (DataColumn col in obNewDt.Columns)
{
strColNames[idx++] = col.ColumnName;
}
IEnumerator viewEnumerator = obDataView.GetEnumerator();
while (viewEnumerator.MoveNext())
{
DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)viewEnumerator.Current;
DataRow dr = obNewDt.NewRow();
try
{
foreach (string strName in strColNames)
{
dr[strName] = drv[strName];
}
}
catch { }
obNewDt.Rows.Add(dr);
}
return obNewDt;
}


Happy Coding...
