Hi,

I'm converting a BindingSource which is being filtered into a DataTable so that each entry can be placed in a rich text box for a report.

I have figured out how to convert the BindingSource into a Datatable so that I can do this. But now the filter doesn't work, any help will be appreciated.

VB

Dim dt As DataTable = New DataTable()
QryMaintenanceBindingSource.Filter = "Site like '" & cmbSite.Text & "'"
dt = CType(QryMaintenanceBindingSource.DataSource.Tables(QryMaintenanceBindingSource.DataMember), DataTable) 'Don't know why or how this works.


DataGridView2.DataSource = dt
DataGridView2.Update()
DataGridView2.Refresh()

Thanks in advance

Marco

You can use DataView for this, like so:

VB

Dim dt As DataTable = New DataTable()
Dim myDataView As New DataView(dt)
myDataView.RowFilter = "Site like '" & cmbSite.Text & "'"
myDataView.Sort = "Site" 'If you like

DataGridView2.DataSource = myDataView

I was actually trying to transfer the bindingsource data into a datatable. But for some reason when the data is transferred the filter was not applied. The reason being that I have to read each record into a rich textbox as a report. The reading directly from the binding source is slow.
