DataRowView

A DataRow object can hold data for more than one state. For example, if a DataTable row has been modified, its DataRow object contains the row’s original data and the new modified values.

The DataRowView object represents a view of a DataRow object in a particular state. That state can be one of Current, Default, Original, or Proposed.

A DataView object holds DataRowView objects representing a view of a DataTable selecting particular rows in a particular state.

The DataRowView object’s purpose is to represent a row in a specific state so this object is relatively simple. It basically indicates the chosen state and refers to a DataRow.

The following table describes the DataRowView object’s most useful properties.
