C# LINQ series: DataTable operation of LINQ to DataSet and conversion between DataTable and Linq

　　LINQ to DataSet needs to use System.Core.dll, System.Data.dll and System.Data.DataSetExtensions.dll, add references to System.Data and System.Data.DataSetExtensions in the project.

1. DataTable read list

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
// Omit the Fill code of ds
DataTable products = ds.Tables["Product"];
IEnumerable<DataRow> rows = from p in products.AsEnumerable()
                            select p;
foreach (DataRow row in rows)
{
    Console.WriteLine(row.Field<string>("ProductName"));
}

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
// Omit the Fill code of ds
DataTable products = ds.Tables["Product"];
var rows = products.AsEnumerable()
    .Select(p => new
    {
        ProductID = p.Field<int>("ProductID"),
        ProductName = p.Field<string>("ProductName"),
        UnitPrice = p.Field<decimal>("UnitPrice")
    });
foreach (var row in rows)
{
    Console.WriteLine(row.ProductName);
}

var products = ds.Tables["Product"].AsEnumerable();
var query = from p in products
            select p.Field<string>("ProductName");

2. DataTable query

var rows = products.AsEnumerable()
    .Where(p => p.Field<decimal>("UnitPrice") > 10m)
    .Select(p => new
    {
        ProductID = p.Field<int>("ProductID"),
        ProductName = p.Field<string>("ProductName"),
        UnitPrice = p.Field<decimal>("UnitPrice")
    });

3. DataTable data sorting

var rows = products.AsEnumerable()
    .Where(p => p.Field<decimal>("UnitPrice") > 10m)
    .OrderBy(p => p.Field<int>("SortOrder"))
    .Select(p => new
    {
        ProductID = p.Field<int>("ProductID"),
        ProductName = p.Field<string>("ProductName"),
        UnitPrice = p.Field<decimal>("UnitPrice")
    });

var expr = from p in products.AsEnumerable()
            orderby p.Field<int>("SortOrder")
            select p;
IEnumerable<DataRow> rows = expr.ToArray();
foreach (var row in rows)
{
    Console.WriteLine(row.Field<string>("ProductName"));
}

var expr = from p in ds.Tables["Product"].AsEnumerable()
           orderby p.Field<int>("SortOrder"), p.Field<string>("ProductName") descending
           select p;

4. Multiple DataTable queries

var query = from p in ds.Tables["Product"].AsEnumerable()
            from c in ds.Tables["Category"].AsEnumerable()
            where p.Field<int>("CategoryID") == c.Field<int>("CategoryID")
                && p.Field<decimal>("UnitPrice") > 10m
            select new
            {
                ProductID = p.Field<int>("ProductID"),
                ProductName = p.Field<string>("ProductName"),
                CategoryName = c.Field<string>("CategoryName")
            };

5. DataTable grouping

var query = from p in ds.Tables["Product"].AsEnumerable()
            group p by p.Field<int>("CategoryID") into g
            select new
            {
                CategoryID = g.Key,
                Products = g
            };

foreach (var item in query)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item.CategoryID);
    foreach (var p in item.Products)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(p.Field<string>("ProductName"));
    }
}

　　Query the number of each CategoryID in Product:

var expr = from p in ds.Tables["Product"].AsEnumerable()
           group p by p.Field<int>("CategoryID") into g
           select new
           {
               CategoryID = g.Key,
               ProductsCount = g.Count()
           };
