System.Data Namespace Component
The System.Data namespace provides access to classes that represent the ADO.NET architecture. ADO.NET lets you build components that efficiently manage data from multiple data sources.
DataRow Class
Definition
Namespace:
System.Data
Assemblies:
System.Data.dll, netstandard.dll, System.Data.Common.dll

Examples
The following example creates a new DataRow by calling the NewRow method of the DataTable object.
C#
private void CreateNewDataRow()
{
// Use the MakeTable function below to create a new table.
DataTable table;
table = MakeNamesTable();
// Once a table has been created, use the
// NewRow to create a DataRow.
DataRow row;
row = table.NewRow();
// Then add the new row to the collection.
row["fName"] = "John";
row["lName"] = "Smith";
table.Rows.Add(row);
foreach(DataColumn column in table.Columns)
Console.WriteLine(column.ColumnName);
dataGrid1.DataSource=table;
}
private DataTable MakeNamesTable()
{
// Create a new DataTable titled 'Names.'
DataTable namesTable = new DataTable("Names");
// Add three column objects to the table.
DataColumn idColumn = new DataColumn();
idColumn.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32");
idColumn.ColumnName = "id";
idColumn.AutoIncrement = true;
namesTable.Columns.Add(idColumn);
DataColumn fNameColumn = new DataColumn();
fNameColumn.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String");
fNameColumn.ColumnName = "Fname";
fNameColumn.DefaultValue = "Fname";
namesTable.Columns.Add(fNameColumn);
DataColumn lNameColumn = new DataColumn();
lNameColumn.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String");
lNameColumn.ColumnName = "LName";
namesTable.Columns.Add(lNameColumn);
// Create an array for DataColumn objects.
DataColumn [] keys = new DataColumn [1];
keys[0] = idColumn;
namesTable.PrimaryKey = keys;
// Return the new DataTable.
return namesTable;
}
Remarks
The DataRow and DataColumn objects are primary components of a DataTable . Use the DataRow object and its properties and methods to retrieve and evaluate; and insert, delete, and update the values in the DataTable . The
DataRowCollection represents the actual DataRow objects in the DataTable , and the DataColumnCollection contains the DataColumn objects that describe the schema of the
DataTable . Use the overloaded Item[String, DataRowVersion] property to return or set the value of a DataColumn .
Use the HasVersion and IsNull properties to determine the status of a particular row value, and the RowState property to determine the state of the row relative to its parent DataTable .
To create a new DataRow , use the NewRow method of the DataTable object. After creating a new DataRow , use the Add method to add the new
DataRow to the DataRowCollection . Finally, call the AcceptChanges method of the DataTable object to confirm the addition. For more information about adding data to a DataTable , see
Adding Data to a DataTable .
You can delete a DataRow from the DataRowCollection by calling the Remove method of the DataRowCollection , or by calling the Delete method of the
DataRow object. The Remove method removes the row from the collection. In contrast, Delete marks the DataRow for removal. The actual removal occurs when you call AcceptChanges method. By calling
Delete , you can programmatically check which rows are marked for removal before actually deleting them. For more information, see DataRow Deletion .
Constructors
DataRow(DataRowBuilder)
Initializes a new instance of the DataRow. Constructs a row from the builder. Only for internal usage.
