I am converting a DataGridView to DataTable for some uses in WPF MVVM. Now, I have this code using the DataGridView with dgvSample as the DataGridView:

foreach(var transaction in transactionlist)
{
    dgvSample.Rows[0].Tag = transaction;
}

Since I am going to store the datagrid content in a DataTable, I have to do something like the following with dtSample as the datatable.

dtSample.Rows[0].Tag = transaction;

And I am having an error since tagging is not available in datatable rows. Is there any possible alternative of doing this?

Thank you!

  • Instead of using a DataTable you could use a class and have the transaction as a property of the class. – Steve Sep 30 '19 at 08:16

Two possible solutions

  1. Add a column to the DataTable called Tag and store the value in that
  2. Create a DataSet, add the DataTable to the DataSet then create a new table Tags with a DataRelation to the original DataTable

  1. Add a "Tag" column to the DataTable:

    dtSample.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Tag"));

  2. Set the value of the column like this:

    dtSample.Rows[0]["Tag"] = "...";
