Question

I have a DataTable which has a column “amount” for each rows and I’d like to have the total sum of all the rows. And also, I’d like to get total number of rows in the DataTable. Could anyone teach me how to have it done with LINQ instead of ordinary way?

Answer 1

Number of rows:

DataTable dt; // ... populate DataTable
var count = dt.Rows.Count;

Sum of the “amount” column:

DataTable dt; // ... populate DataTable
var sum = dt.AsEnumerable().Sum(dr => dr.Field<int>("amount"));
