Classe System.Data.DataTable

Este artigo fornece observações complementares à documentação de referência para essa API.

A DataTable classe é um objeto central na biblioteca ADO.NET. Outros objetos que usam DataTable incluem o e o DataViewDataSet .

DataTable Os nomes de objeto diferenciam condicionalmente maiúsculas de minúsculas. Por exemplo, se uma for chamada "mydatatable" e outra for chamada "Mydatatable", uma cadeia de caracteres usada para procurar uma DataTable das tabelas será considerada sensível a maiúsculas e minúsculas. No entanto, se "mydatatable" existir e "Mydatatable" não, a cadeia de caracteres de pesquisa será considerada como diferenciando maiúsculas de minúsculas. Um DataSet pode conter dois DataTable objetos que têm o mesmo TableName valor de propriedade, mas valores de propriedade diferentes Namespace . Para obter mais informações sobre como trabalhar com DataTable objetos, consulte Criando uma DataTable.

Se você estiver criando um DataTable programaticamente, primeiro deverá definir seu esquema adicionando DataColumn objetos ao DataColumnCollection (acessado por meio da Columns propriedade). Para obter mais informações sobre como adicionar DataColumn objetos, consulte Adicionando colunas a uma DataTable.

Para adicionar linhas a um , você deve primeiro usar o NewRow método para retornar um DataTablenovo DataRow objeto. O NewRow método retorna uma linha com o esquema do DataTable, conforme definido pelo DataColumnCollection. O número máximo de linhas que uma DataTable lata pode armazenar é 16.777.216. Para obter mais informações, consulte Adicionando dados a uma DataTable.

O DataTable também contém uma coleção de Constraint objetos que podem ser usados para garantir a integridade dos dados. Para obter mais informações, consulte Restrições de DataTable.

Há muitos DataTable eventos que podem ser usados para determinar quando as alterações são feitas em uma tabela. Elas incluem RowChanged, RowChanging, RowDeleting e RowDeleted. Para obter mais informações sobre os eventos que podem ser usados com um DataTable, consulte Manipulando eventos DataTable.

Quando uma instância de é criada, algumas das propriedades de DataTable leitura/gravação são definidas como valores iniciais. Para obter uma lista desses valores, consulte o DataTable construtor.

Observação

Os DataSet objetos e DataTable herdam e MarshalByValueComponent oferecem suporte à ISerializable interface para comunicação remota do .NET. Esses são os únicos objetos ADO.NET que você pode usar para comunicação remota do .NET.

Considerações de segurança

Para obter informações sobre a segurança DataSet e DataTable, consulte Diretrizes de segurança.

Exemplos

Este exemplo demonstra como criar uma DataTable manualmente com definições de esquema específicas:

  • Crie várias DataTables e defina as colunas iniciais.
  • Crie as restrições da tabela.
  • Insira os valores e exiba as tabelas.
  • Crie as colunas de expressão e exiba as tabelas.
