Question

I have code for filling my DataColumns. but the for loop I created wont work.
The first DataTable is being filled with a SQL query. The second DataTable needs to be partially being filled with data from the first DataTable. So I built a second DataTable manually with a for loop to fill it, but it doesn’t work?

public partial class _Planning : System.Web.UI.Page
{

int cursusID = 2;
DataTable LeerstofTabel;
DataTable Planning;


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Leerstoftabel = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["CursusPlanner"];
connection = new SqlConnection(Leerstoftabel.ConnectionString);

SqlCommand cmd = connection.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT cursus.naam AS [Cursus Naam], vak.vaknaam, cursusvak.volgnummer, les.dagnummer, les.hoofdstuknummer, les.naam AS [Les Naam], les.lesomschrijving FROM cursus INNER JOIN cursusvak ON cursus.cursusID = cursusvak.cursusID INNER JOIN vak ON cursusvak.vakID = vak.vakID INNER JOIN les ON vak.vakID = les.vakID WHERE(cursus.cursusID = @cursusID)ORDER BY cursusvak.volgnummer";

//int cursusID = Convert.ToInt32(DropDownList1.SelectedValue);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@cursusID", SqlDbType.Int, 0).Value = cursusID;

connection.Open();

//het creeëren van een datatabel
DbDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
LeerstofTabel = new DataTable();
LeerstofTabel.Load(rdr);

connection.Close();
}

// weekend days can't be selected in calendar

//create the DataTable named "Planning"

//Add the DataColumn using defaults
DataColumn datum = new DataColumn("Datum");
datum.DataType = typeof(DateTime);

Planning.Columns.Add(omschrijving);

//Add the DataColumn using defaults
DataColumn lessen = new DataColumn("Lessen");
lessen.AllowDBNull = false;
lessen.Caption = "Lessen";
Planning.Columns.Add(lessen);


for (int i = 0; i < LeerstofTabel.Rows.Count; i++)
{
    if (LeerstofTabel ["vaknaam"]).ToString() != vorigvak  // this statement doesn't work
    {
        DataRow newplannning = Planning.NewRow();
        newplannning["Datum"] = "";
        newplannning["Hoofdstuk"] = "*" + LeerstofTabel["vaknaam"];
        newplannning["Omschrijving"] = "";
        newplannning["Lessen"] = "";
        Planning.Rows.Add(newplannning);

    }

    Vorigvak = (LeerstofTabel["vaknaam"])ToString();
}


GridView1.DataSource = Planning;
GridView1.DataBind();

Answer 1

If vaknaam is your column name, you’ll need to use it on a row

var r = LeerstofTabel.Rows[i]
if (r["vaknaam"]).ToString() != vorigvak) { // ...
