Question

Is it possible to create (allocate memory) a DataTable array and then access it like that for instance:

dt[0].NewRow();

If this is possible how can I allocate memory?

Thanks,

Yes, of course you can:

int n = 10; // the number of datatables 
DataTable[] dtArray = new DataTable[n];
for(int i=0; i < n; i++)
    dtArray[i] = new DataTable("DataTable " + i);

if you don’t know the number of DataTables in advance, you can use an expandable structure like a List<DataTable>:

List<DataTable> dtList = new List<DataTable>();
dtList.Add(new DataTable());
dtList.Add(new DataTable());
...

or, as suggested by Reniuz, you can use a DataSet
