DataTable.ImportRow is not adding rows

Question

I'm trying to make a DataTable and then add a couple rows to it. Here's my code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Data;


namespace thisNamespace
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DataTable dt=new DataTable();
            dt.Columns.Add("XYZID");
            DataRow dr=dt.NewRow();
            dr["XYZID"]=123;
            dt.ImportRow(dr);
            dr["XYZID"] = 604303;
            dt.ImportRow(dr);

        }
    }
}

When I step through the program, dr is successfully initialized and populated with values, but then after ImportRow(dr), the count of rows in dt is still 0. I feel like I must be missing something obvious. What's going wrong here?

Answer 1

If the row is detached (as it is when it is first created) ImportRows fails silently (no exception) - to be able to import rows you have to Add it into the table. Afterwards you can import it into other tables.

Answer 2

Try this code:

dt.Rows.Add(dr)

Its May Help you

DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("Dosage", typeof(int));
    table.Columns.Add("Drug", typeof(string));
    table.Columns.Add("Patient", typeof(string));
    table.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(DateTime));

    //
    // Here we add five DataRows.
    //
    table.Rows.Add(25, "Indocin", "David", DateTime.Now);
    table.Rows.Add(50, "Enebrel", "Sam", DateTime.Now);
    table.Rows.Add(10, "Hydralazine", "Christoff", DateTime.Now);
    table.Rows.Add(21, "Combivent", "Janet", DateTime.Now);
    table.Rows.Add(100, "Dilantin", "Melanie", DateTime.Now);
