How do I compare values of one data set from another.
1st dataset ["proper records"] is coming from SQL Server with column names
[id], [subsNumber]
2nd dataset ["proper and inproper records"] is coming from progress database, with different columns except 1 which is subsNumber
How do I go and make another dataset which has all the [subsNumber]
from ["proper records"] with matching records from 2nd datset ["proper inproper records"] ?
or
delete all the records in 2nd dataset["proper and inproper records"] which don't match the "subsNumber" column in the 1st dataset
or any other idea
basically How do I get all records from 2nd dataset which has same "subsNumber" as the 1st dataset
The key is using System.Data.DataRelation to join your 2 datatables on a common column (or columns).
Here's some code derived from a post at KC's See Sharp Blog
public DataTable GetImproperRecords(DataTable ProperRecords, DataTable ImproperRecords) {
DataTable relatedTable = new DataTable("Difference");
try {
using (DataSet dataSet = new DataSet()) {
dataSet.Tables.AddRange(new DataTable[] { ProperRecords.Copy(), ImproperRecords.Copy() });
DataColumn properColumn = new DataColumn();
properColumn = dataSet.Tables[0].Columns[1]; // Assuming subsNumber is at index 1
DataColumn improperColumn = new DataColumn();
improperColumn = dataSet.Tables[1].Columns[0]; // Assuming subsNumber is at index 0
//Create DataRelation
DataRelation relation = new DataRelation(string.Empty, properColumn, improperColumn, false);
dataSet.Relations.Add(relation);
//Create columns for return relatedTable
for (int i = 0; i < ImproperRecords.Columns.Count; i++) {
relatedTable.Columns.Add(ImproperRecords.Columns[i].ColumnName, ImproperRecords.Columns[i].DataType);
}
relatedTable.BeginLoadData();
foreach (DataRow parentrow in dataSet.Tables[1].Rows) {
DataRow[] childrows = parentrow.GetChildRows(relation);
if (childrows != null && childrows.Length > 0)
relatedTable.LoadDataRow(parentrow.ItemArray, true);
}
relatedTable.EndLoadData();
}
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
return relatedTable;
}
I solved the problem:
1st dataset--> loop throuhg and get the subsNumber
Call function and pass subsNumber and 2nd dataset--> to it
Then start another loop for new dataset
Continue if subsnumber don't match
If subsNumber match work on that data like add columns to sqlserver table etc.
code:
foreach (DataRow row in ecommDS.Tables["EcommData"].Rows)
{
//string statCode = ""
string prdCode = ""; //declaring var for getting string format from ecomm
string checking = "";
prdCode = row["PRD-CDE"].ToString();
checking = row["SUBS-NUM"].ToString();
if(checking != subsNum)
{
continue;
}
To get all the records from 2nd dataset that match the records from the 1st dataset would be something like this:
IEnumerable list3 = list2.Where(l2=>list1.Contains(l1=>l1.subsNumber == l2.subsNumber));
Something along those lines!
