System.Data Namespace   DataTable Class

Clones the structure of the DataTable, including all DataTable schemas, relations, and constraints.

[ VB ]
Public Function Clone ( ) As DataTable

[ C# ]
public DataTable Clone ( );

[ C++ ]
public: DataTable* Clone ( );

[ JScript ]
public function Clone ( ) : DataTable;

A new DataTable with the same schema as the current DataTable.

NOTE: If these classes have been subclassed, the clone will also be of the same subclasses.

The following example initializes a clone of a DataTable object's schema.

Private void GetClone ( DataTable myDataTable ) {
   // get a clone of the original DataTable.
   DataTable cloneTable;
   cloneTable = myDataTable.Clone ( );
   // insert code to work with clone of the DataTable.
}

Private Sub GetClone ( ByVal myDataTable As DataTable )
   ' get a clone of the original DataTable.
   Dim cloneTable As DataTable
   cloneTable = myDataTable.Clone ( )
   ' insert code to work with clone of the DataTable.
End Sub
