Question

I have a 200 rows in my datatable which there are a lot with “” (string.empty) values, so I need to remove them from my datatable before data biding.

I don’t know how to data binding an array

My datalist:

<asp:DataList
      id="list1"
      runat="server">
      <ItemTemplate>
         <cc1:SWCLabel 
             runat="server"
             Text ='<%# Eval("myfield1")%>'
              />
      </ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

// My code behind
DataView view = dt3.DefaultView;
DataRow[] rows = dt3.Select("myfield1 <> ''");
... // Something here

Plese, assist me with non linq solutions since I’m not capable to undertand it at the moment.

Thank you!!

Answer 1

You can use Linq:

IEnumerable<DataRow> dataSource = dt3.AsEnumerable()
         .Where(r => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(r.Field<string>("myfield1")));
list1.DataSource = dataSource;
list1.DataBind();
