Hi All,

I am having a list of DB objects in a datatable.

C#

ID ObjectType, ObjectName
1 StoredProcedure, usp_getList
2 Table, tbl_Users
3 Function, udf_getNames
4 View, v_Changes 
5 Table, tbl_Admin
6 Function, udf_SplitString

I need to group them by each object type and then sort it according to the object name.

C#

ID ObjectType, ObjectName
1 Function, udf_getNames
2 Function, udf_SplitString
3 StoredProcedure, usp_getList
4 Table, tbl_Admin
5 Table, tbl_Users
6 View, v_Changes

I tried the following code, but it seems not working

C#

DataView dv = new DataView(tbl);
           dv.Sort = "ObjectType ASC";

           var groupbyfilter = from d in tbl.AsEnumerable() group d by d["ObjectType "];
           foreach (var x in groupbyfilter)
               x.CopyToDataTable(tbl, LoadOption.OverwriteChanges);

Please help resolve this. Thanks in advance.

Try this:

C#

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataColumn ID = new DataColumn();
ID.ColumnName = "ID";
ID.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32");
ID.AutoIncrement = true;
ID.AutoIncrementSeed = 1;
ID.AutoIncrementStep = 1;

dt.Columns.Add(ID);
dt.Columns.Add("ObjectType", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("ObjectName", typeof(string));

DataTable copy = tbl.Copy();
copy.Columns.Remove("ID");
copy.DefaultView.Sort = "ObjectType" + " " + "ASC";
copy = copy.DefaultView.ToTable();

foreach(DataRow drow in copy.AsEnumerable())
{
    dt.ImportRow(drow);
}

Now you can use dt as source for your dataview.
