Convert list of string to DataTable












-1















I want to convert List of string to datatable so I try:



List<string> DesignNameList = new List<string>();

public static Mymethod...{

parameters = ToDataTable(DesignNameList);
}


public static DataTable ToDataTable(List<string> list)
{

DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
foreach (var row in list)
{
dataTable.Rows.Add(row);
}
return dataTable;

}


But I get error when foreach is being executed in line dataTable.Rows.Add(row);:




'Input array is longer than the number of columns in this table.'




What I'm doing wrong? Regards

  • There is little reason to do such a thing. A List<T> is probably a bit more flexible than a DT...and you certainly do not need a DataTable you created for DB updates

You'll need to add a column to the data table first. As it is created is has no columns



DataTable datatable= new DataTable();  

DataColumn workCol = datatable.Columns.Add("column_name", typeof(String));

    Try to exchange the loop 'foreach' by the 'for', like this:



      DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
    for (int i = 0; i < list.Count(); i++)
    {
    dataTable.Rows.Add(list[i]);
    }
    return dataTable;
