How to add textBox to Winform dataGridView cells

I want to add textBox to my column cells by for loop...
My code:
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataColumn dc;
dc = new DataColumn("No");
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn("Item");
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn("Available Stock");
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn("Quantity");
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn("Price");
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
// Define rows
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
string no = dtr.Rows[i][0].ToString();
string item = dtr.Rows[i][2].ToString() + " " + dtr.Rows[i][1].ToString();
string A_qty = dtr.Rows[i][3].ToString();
string price = dtr.Rows[i][4].ToString();
dt.Rows.Add(no, item, A_qty,"[i want to add text box here] " ,price);
}
dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
I want to add textBoxes to 4th column and I want access that one by one.

You can add textBox column to DataGridView instead and loop through DataGridView like
DataTable dt=new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("No",typeof(int));
dt.Columns.Add("Item",typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("quantity",typeof(int));
dt.Columns.Add("Price",typeof(decimal));
//Add row to the datatable
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
//Not Sure what dtr is you looping through
string no = dtr.Rows[i][0].ToString();
string item = dtr.Rows[i][1].ToString() + " " + dtr.Rows[i][1].ToString();
string A_qty = dtr.Rows[i][2].ToString();
string price = dtr.Rows[i][3].ToString();
dt.Rows.Add(no, item, A_qty, price);
}
//Create New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
DataGridViewTextBoxColumn textboxColumn=new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
//Bind DataGridView to Datasource
dataGridView1.datasource=dt;
//Add TextBoxColumn dynamically to DataGridView
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(textboxColumn);
//Loop through DataGridView
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
//Do your task here
string fourthColumn = row.Cells[4].Value.toString();
}

Not sure. But hope this code will help you. Just add column of type textbox to your datatable.
DataTable table = new DataTable();
DataColumn col = new DataColumn("Name", typeof(TextBoxBase));
table.Columns.Add(col);

Join 2 DataTables into 1 in C# [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
how to join two datatable datas into one datatable to show in one gridview in asp.net
(4 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have two identical DataTables from two different databases (but the ids are unique!). So now I want to have combine this data into a single DataTable. I have no idea what to do.
I tried the following:
DataTable one = new DataTable();
one = baza_win.pobierz_dane("SELECT...");
DataTable two = new DataTable();
two = baza_win2.pobierz_dane("SELECT...");
//DataTable sum = one + two;
DataTable sum = new DataTable();
sum.Clone(one);
sum.Merge(two,false);
But this doesn't work at sum.Clone(one);
Any ideas?

sum = one.Copy();
sum.Merge(two);

I think you need Copy instead of Clone:
DataTable one = new DataTable();
one = baza_win.pobierz_dane("SELECT...");
DataTable two = new DataTable();
two = baza_win2.pobierz_dane("SELECT...");
//DataTable sum = one + two;
DataTable sum = new DataTable();
sum.Copy(one);
sum.Merge(two,false);

foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)

try the following... CLONE the first table so it has proper structure, THEN merge two into it.
DataTable sum = one.Clone()
sum.Merge(two,false);

How to assign a value to the original datarow after I am iterating over a temporary datatable

I am trying to explain what I need to do.
As you can see in the second foreach, I am iterating over the temporary data table, but I need to set a value for the same row in the original data tablerow.
For example:
_uc090_WingsIntegrationDataSet.WingsBookingInterface[0]["property"] = x;
What I dont know how to implement is how to find that row and set the property, I saw the LoadRow method but I never used it before.
DataTable tempTable = _uc090_WingsIntegrationDataSet.WingsBookingInterface.Clone();
DataRow[] datarows = _uc090_WingsIntegrationDataSet.WingsBookingInterface.Select("REFMDossierID = " + refmDossierId);
if (datarows.Length > 0)
{
foreach (DataRow dr in datarows)
{
tempTable.ImportRow(dr);
}
}
//2. foreach master row
foreach (UC090_WingsIntegrationDataSet.WingsBookingInterfaceRow row in tempTable.Rows)

You can find the row using Rows.Find(), but it requires that a PrimaryKey be set on at least one column in your DataTable.
As far as loading new data, you can use LoadDataRow() which will update existing rows (if a primary key is supplied) or insert new data if any matching datatypes are found.
Please take a look at the following example using untyped datasets:
DataSet dataSet = new DataSet("MyDataSet");
DataTable dataTable = dataSet.Tables.Add("JavaScriptLibraries");
DataColumn[] dataColumns =
new[] {
new DataColumn("Id", typeof(Int32))
{
AutoIncrement = true,
AllowDBNull = false,
AutoIncrementSeed = 1
},
new DataColumn("Name", typeof(String))
};
dataTable.Columns.AddRange(dataColumns);
dataTable.PrimaryKey = new[] { dataTable.Columns["Id"] };
DataRow dataRow1 = dataTable.NewRow();
dataRow1["Name"] = "jQuery";
dataTable.Rows.Add(dataRow1);
DataRow dataRow2 = dataTable.NewRow();
dataRow2["Name"] = "MooTools";
dataTable.Rows.Add(dataRow2);
// Copy the dataset
DataSet tempDataSet = dataSet.Clone();
DataTable tempDataTable = tempDataSet.Tables["JavaScriptLibraries"];
DataRow[] tempRows = dataSet.Tables["JavaScriptLibraries"].Select("Name = 'jQuery'");
// Import rows to copy of table
foreach (var tempRow in tempRows)
{
tempDataTable.ImportRow(tempRow);
}
foreach (DataRow tempRow in tempDataTable.Rows)
{
// Find existing row by PK, then update it
DataRow originalRow = dataTable.Rows.Find(tempRow["Id"]);
originalRow["Name"] = "Updated Name";
}
// Load new data using LoadDataRow()
object[] newRow = new[] { null, "New Row" };
dataTable.BeginLoadData();
dataTable.LoadDataRow(newRow, true);
dataTable.EndLoadData();

How to check if a record is already present in the DataView? C#

I have a DataView which has two columns: ContactID, and Name
How can I check if a particular ContactID is already existing in the DataView?

Have you had a look at DataView.FindRows Method or maybe DataView.Find Method

The DataView has a method called FindRows, this can be used to search for a specific contactID, for example...
var table = new DataTable();
var column = new DataColumn("Id", typeof (int));
table.Columns.Add(column);
table.PrimaryKey = new[] {column}; // Unique Constraint
var row = table.NewRow();
row["Id"] = 100;
table.Rows.Add(row);
row = table.NewRow();
row["Id"] = 200;
table.Rows.Add(row);
var view = new DataView(table) { ApplyDefaultSort = true };
var rows = view.FindRows(200);
foreach(var r in rows)
{
Console.WriteLine(r["Id"]);
}

Use the Following code to Find the row in the Dataview
//Your original Table Which consist of Data
DataTable dtProducts = new DataTable();
//Add the DataTable to DataView
DataView ProductDataView = new DataView(dtProducts);
ProductDataView.RowFilter = "";
ProductDataView.Sort = "ProdId";
int recordIndex = -1;
//In the Find Row Method pass the Column
//value which you want to find
recordIndex = ProductDataView.Find(1);
if (recordIndex > -1)
{
Console.WriteLine("Row Found");
}

How to 'union' 2 or more DataTables in C#?

How to 'union' 2 or more DataTables in C#?
Both table has same structure.
Is there any build-in function or should we do manually?

You are looking most likely for the DataTable.Merge method.
Example:
private static void DemonstrateMergeTable()
{
DataTable table1 = new DataTable("Items");
// Add columns
DataColumn idColumn = new DataColumn("id", typeof(System.Int32));
DataColumn itemColumn = new DataColumn("item", typeof(System.Int32));
table1.Columns.Add(idColumn);
table1.Columns.Add(itemColumn);
// Set the primary key column.
table1.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { idColumn };
// Add RowChanged event handler for the table.
table1.RowChanged += new
System.Data.DataRowChangeEventHandler(Row_Changed);
// Add ten rows.
DataRow row;
for (int i = 0; i <= 9; i++)
{
row = table1.NewRow();
row["id"] = i;
row["item"] = i;
table1.Rows.Add(row);
}
// Accept changes.
table1.AcceptChanges();
PrintValues(table1, "Original values");
// Create a second DataTable identical to the first.
DataTable table2 = table1.Clone();
// Add column to the second column, so that the
// schemas no longer match.
table2.Columns.Add("newColumn", typeof(System.String));
// Add three rows. Note that the id column can't be the
// same as existing rows in the original table.
row = table2.NewRow();
row["id"] = 14;
row["item"] = 774;
row["newColumn"] = "new column 1";
table2.Rows.Add(row);
row = table2.NewRow();
row["id"] = 12;
row["item"] = 555;
row["newColumn"] = "new column 2";
table2.Rows.Add(row);
row = table2.NewRow();
row["id"] = 13;
row["item"] = 665;
row["newColumn"] = "new column 3";
table2.Rows.Add(row);
// Merge table2 into the table1.
Console.WriteLine("Merging");
table1.Merge(table2, false, MissingSchemaAction.Add);
PrintValues(table1, "Merged With table1, schema added");
}
private static void Row_Changed(object sender,
DataRowChangeEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Row changed {0}\t{1}", e.Action,
e.Row.ItemArray[0]);
}
private static void PrintValues(DataTable table, string label)
{
// Display the values in the supplied DataTable:
Console.WriteLine(label);
foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
{
foreach (DataColumn col in table.Columns)
{
Console.Write("\t " + row[col].ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}

You could try this:
public static DataTable Union (DataTable First, DataTable Second)
{
//Result table
DataTable table = new DataTable("Union");
//Build new columns
DataColumn[] newcolumns = new DataColumn[First.Columns.Count];
for(int i=0; i < First.Columns.Count; i++)
{
newcolumns[i] = new DataColumn(
First.Columns[i].ColumnName, First.Columns[i].DataType);
}
table.Columns.AddRange(newcolumns);
table.BeginLoadData();
foreach(DataRow row in First.Rows)
{
table.LoadDataRow(row.ItemArray,true);
}
foreach(DataRow row in Second.Rows)
{
table.LoadDataRow(row.ItemArray,true);
}
table.EndLoadData();
return table;
}
From here (not tested).

You could use Concat from Linq to datasets (get the free chapter of LINQ in Action) to join them and then .AsDataTable to create the table (assuming you actually want them as a DataTable)

Stumbled across this question, and Ruben Bartelink gave a great answer, but with no code. So I had to look it up elsewhere, which defeats the point of StackOverflow. Now that it's 2010, the other answers given aren't quite as viable. For reference, here's code demonstrating the CopyToDataTable() extension method. It's in VB so as to not steal the credit from Ruben if he wants to revisit the past and post a more complete answer :)
Public Function GetSchema(ByVal dbNames As IEnumerable(Of String)) As DataTable
Dim schemaTables As New List(Of DataTable)()
For Each dbName As String In dbNames
Dim cnnStr = GetConnectionString(dbName)
Dim cnn As New SqlConnection(cnnStr)
cnn.Open()
Dim dt = cnn.GetSchema("Columns")
cnn.Close()
schemaTables.Add(dt)
Next
Dim dtResult As DataTable = Nothing
For Each dt As DataTable In schemaTables
If dtResult Is Nothing Then
dtResult = dt
Else
dt.AsEnumerable().CopyToDataTable(dtResult, LoadOption.PreserveChanges)
End If
Next
Return dtResult
End Function

Try this using Linq to DataSet, must add the reference for System.Data.DataSetExtensions.dll, another approach, alternative for DataTable.Merge method).
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DoUnion();
}
private static void DoUnion()
{
DataTable table1 = GetProducts();
DataTable table2 = NewProducts();
var tbUnion = table1.AsEnumerable()
.Union(table2.AsEnumerable());
DataTable unionTable = table1.Clone();
foreach (DataRow fruit in tbUnion)
{
var fruitValue = fruit.Field<string>(0);
Console.WriteLine("{0}->{1}", fruit.Table, fruitValue);
DataRow row = unionTable.NewRow();
row.SetField<string>(0, fruitValue);
unionTable.Rows.Add(row);
}
}
private static DataTable NewProducts()
{
DataTable table = new DataTable("CitricusTable");
DataColumn col = new DataColumn("product", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add(col);
string[] citricusFruits = { "Orange", "Grapefruit", "Lemon", "Lime", "Tangerine" };
foreach (string fruit in citricusFruits)
{
DataRow row = table.NewRow();
row.SetField<string>(col, fruit);
table.Rows.Add(row);
}
return table;
}
private static DataTable GetProducts()
{
DataTable table = new DataTable("MultipleFruitsTable");
DataColumn col = new DataColumn("product", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add(col);
string[] multipleFruits = { "Breadfruit", "Custardfruit", "Jackfruit", "Osage-orange", "Pineapple" };
foreach (string fruit in multipleFruits)
{
DataRow row = table.NewRow();
row.SetField<string>(col, fruit);
table.Rows.Add(row);
}
return table;
}
