How can I convert DataRow to string Array?

Question

I have some values in a DataGridRow (item Array) and I want to fetch all these values into a string array. How can I achieve this?

DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)Lst.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(k);
            DataRowView Drv = (DataRowView)row.Item;
            DataRow dr = (DataRow)Drv.Row;

Answer 1

var rowAsString = string.Join(", ", dataTable.Rows[0].ItemArray); 

No need of any lambda expresion as above.

Answer 2

One possibility is to call dr.ItemArray; This will get you a object[]. Then you have to cast each object to string before you use it.

Answer 3

LINQ adds some sugar:

var stringArray = dr.ItemArray.Cast<string>().ToArray()

Answer 4

var rowAsString = string.Join(", ", dr.ItemArray.Select(c => c.ToString()).ToArray());

This should give you a string with each item in your data row separated by a comma.
