Clone DataRow

[Doug Bell]

Hi,
I am trying to clone a DataRow (see below) but I have a syntax error
refering to the implicit conversion from object to datarow.

How can I convert the object into a datarow without itterating through the
elements?

Thanks

Doug
Dim dr, drNew As DataRow

'Add Row 0 with Manufactured Product details

dr = dtOrderDetails. Rows(0)

drNew = dtOrderDetails. NewRow

drNew.ItemArray = dr.ItemArray.Cl one

To deepcopy a datarow you need the schema which is in the datatable.

Therefore I think that the most simple methods are to use or the importrow
or the loaddatarow from that.

A clone is only a shallow copy, which means that it copies the references to
the original object.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Re: Clone DataRow

Thanks Cor,

I was just about to post that I had a solution:
Dim dt As DataTable

Dim drNew As DataRow

'Add Row 0 with Manufactred Product details

dt = dtOrderDetails. Clone

drNew = dtOrderDetails. Rows(0)

dt.ImportRow(dr New)
