Create data Table Dynamically and bind to Drop down List in asp.net



In this post we will explain how to create DataTable and bind data to columns in DataTable dynamically using asp.net Programming languge.
Here we see how to Runtime create  Data Table using C# and then bind it to DropDown List in ASP.Net Programming.

First a dynamic Data Table object is created and then  its schema (Table rows and Columns) is defined by coding . first define columns then  rows (records) are added to the dynamically created Data Table.
If the dynamic DataTable is fill by  records, it is bound to an DropDown List control in asp.net .

To design a table visually in Design view by C# code , use an DataTable control. If you
also need to code to create row and column and add its in to created table
Rows in a Table Web server control are objects of type data Row. Similarly, the Table Row object has a Cells property that supports a collection of objects of type data column. You can add cells to a row code this collection(created table).




<html 
<head runat="server">
<title>Dynamically data Table with dropdown List in asp.net</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlEMP"
runat="server" Width="128px" AutoPostBack="True">                      
 </asp:DropDownList>
 </div>
</form>
</body>
</html>


Code for coding page (.aspx.cs page) in Asp.net programming:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class DynamicTablewithDropdown : System.Web.UI.Page
{

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(!IsPostBack)
{
BindGridview ();
}
}
/// Dynamically create & bind data to datatable and bind datatable to gridview
protected void BindGrid ()
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("id", typeof(Int32));
dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof (string));

DataRow dtrow = dt.NewRow();    // Create New Row ……………………………………….
dtrow["UserId"] = 1;            //Bind Data to Columns
dtrow["UserName"] = "FIG";
dt.Rows.Add(dtrow);

dtrow = dt.NewRow();               // Create New Row ……………………………………….

dtrow["UserId"] = 2;               //Bind Data to Columns
dtrow["UserName"] = "CDE";
dt.Rows.Add(dtrow);

dtrow = dt.NewRow();              // Create New Row ……………………………………….

dtrow["UserId"] = 3;              //Bind Data to Columns
dtrow["UserName"] = "ABC";
dt.Rows.Add(dtrow);

dtrow = dt.NewRow();              // Create New Row ……………………………………….

dtrow["UserId"] = 4;              //Bind Data to Columns
dtrow["UserName"] = "Ram";
dt.Rows.Add(dtrow);
ddlEMP.DataSource = dt
ddlEMP.DataTextField = "NAME";
ddlEMP.DataValueField = "Id";
ddlEMP.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Select", "0"));
ddlEMP.DataBind()
}
}


VB.NET Code

Imports System
Imports System.Data
Partial Class Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

If Not IsPostBack Then
BindGridviewData()
End If
End Sub
// Dynamically create & bind data to datatable and bind datatable to gridview
Protected Sub BindGridviewData()
Dim dt As New DataTable()
dt.Columns.Add("UserId", GetType(Int32))
dt.Columns.Add("UserName", GetType(String))

Dim dtrow As DataRow = dt.NewRow()
// Create New Row ……………………………………….
dtrow("UserId") = 1
dtrow("UserName") = "FGH"
dt.Rows.Add(dtrow)

dtrow = dt.NewRow()
// Create New Row ……………………………………….
dtrow("UserId") = 2
dtrow("UserName") = "CDE"
dt.Rows.Add(dtrow)

dtrow = dt.NewRow()
// Create New Row ……………………………………….
dtrow("UserId") = 3
dtrow("UserName") = "ABC"
dt.Rows.Add(dtrow)

ddlEMP.DataSource = dt
ddlEMP.DataTextField = "NAME";
ddlEMP.DataValueField = "Id";
ddlEMP.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Select", "0"));
ddlEMP.DataBind()

End Sub
End Class
