C# – Select Particular Row In Gridview

What if I want to obtain a distinct list based on one or more properties?

Simple! You want to group them and pick a winner out of the group.

List<Person> distinctPeople = allPeople
  .GroupBy(p => p.PersonId)
  .Select(g => g.First())
  .ToList();

If you want to define groups on multiple properties, here's how:

List<Person> distinctPeople = allPeople
  .GroupBy(p => new {p.PersonId, p.FavoriteColor} )
  .Select(g => g.First())
  .ToList();

Note: Certain query providers are unable to resolve that each group must have at least one element, and that First is the appropriate method to call in that situation. If you find yourself working with such a query provider, FirstOrDefault may help get your query through the query provider.

You need to create a new Row with the values from dr first. A DataRow can only belong to a single DataTable.

You can also use Add which takes an array of values:

myTable.Rows.Add(dr.ItemArray)

Or probably even better:

// This works because the row was added to the original table.
myTable.ImportRow(dr);

// The following won't work. No data will be added or exception thrown.
var drFail = dt.NewRow()
drFail["CustomerID"] = "[Your data here]";
// dt.Rows.Add(row); // Uncomment for import to succeed.
myTable.ImportRow(drFail);
