The DataRowView Class

Rows in a DataView object are stored as objects of the DataRowView class. A DataRowView object provides access to the underlying DataRow object in a DataTable. When you examine and edit the contents of a DataRowView, you are actually working with the underlying DataRow. Keep this in mind when working with DataRowView objects. Table 13.4 shows some of the DataRowView properties, and Table 13.5 shows some of the DataRowView methods.

Table 13.4: DataRowView PROPERTIES
PROPERTY	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
DataView	DataView	Gets the DataView that the DataRowView belongs to.
IsEdit	bool	Gets a bool that indicates whether the DataRowView (and therefore the underlying DataRow) is in edit mode.
IsNew	bool	Gets a bool that indicates whether the DataRowView has just been added.
Row	DataRow	Gets the underlying DataRow that is being viewed from the DataTable.
RowVersion	DataRowVersion	Gets the DataRowVersion of the underlying DataRow. Members of the System.Data.DataRowVersion enumeration are Current, which indicates the DataRow contains the current values. Default, which indicates the DataRow contains the default values. Original, which indicates the DataRow contains the original values. Proposed, which indicates the DataRow contains proposed values.

Table 13.5: DataRowView METHODS
METHOD	RETURN TYPE	DESCRIPTION
BeginEdit()	void	Begins editing of the DataRowView in your DataView, and therefore begins the editing of the underlying DataRow in your DataTable. You then edit this DataRow through the DataRowView.
CancelEdit()	void	Cancels editing of the DataRowView in your DataView, and therefore cancels editing of the underlying DataRow.
CreateChildView()	DataView	Overloaded. Returns a DataView for a child DataTable, if present.
Delete()	void	Deletes the DataRowView in your DataView. The deletion of the underlying DataRow isn't committed in the DataTable until you call the AcceptChanges() method of your DataTable. You can undo the deletion by calling the RejectChanges() method of your DataTable, which also undoes any uncommitted additions or modifications.
EndEdit()	void	Ends the editing of a DataRowView.
