Question

dataGridView1.DataSource = myDataSet1;
dataGridView1.DataMember = "SomeTable";

And now I want to get the refference to DataTable back from my dataGridView1.
Something like this:

DataTable dt = (DataTable)dataGridView1.DataSource... ;

I’m aware of BindingContext, but couldn’t find the way to get DataTable refference back.

Got it.

DataSet dataSet = (DataSet)dataGridView1.DataSource;
string tableName = dataGridView1.DataMember;
DataTable dt =dataSet.Tables[tableName];

Answer 1

you are assigning Dataset as datasource to your gridview. So, the line below would help u.

DataTable dt = ((DataSet)dataGridView1.DataSource).Tables[index];

Assuming that you have only one datatable in your dataset. you can also use your table name instead of index.
