System.Data Namespace   DataTable Class

Copies both the structure and data for this DataTable.

[ VB ]
Public Function Copy ( ) As DataTable

[ C# ]
public DataTable Copy ( );

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

[ JScript ]
public function Copy ( ) : DataTable;

A new DataTable with the same structure ( table schemas, relations, and constraints ) and data as this DataTable.

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

The following example uses the Copy method to create a copy of the original DataTable.

Private void CopyDataTable ( DataTable myDataTable ) {
   // create an object variable for the copy.
   DataTable copyDataTable;
   copyDataTable = myDataTable.Copy ( );
   // insert code to work with the copy.
}

Private Sub CopyDataTable ( ByVal myDataTable As DataTable )
   ' create an object variable for the copy.
   Dim copyDataTable As DataTable
   copyDataTable = myDataTable.Copy ( )
   ' insert code to work with the copy.
End Sub
