Taking your datagridview and putting it into a dataset
This is a fairly short and sweet function that will take your datagridview and dump it into a dataset. This was created for/using VS 2005.
Code:
Public Function DatagridviewToDataset(ByVal dgv As DataGridView) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim ds As New System.Data.DataSet
'Take the data and structure from the datagridview and return it as a dataset. You can use
'"Imports System.Data" declaration at the top of your project/class and remove the system.data
'from the various parts of this function.
Try
'Add a new table to the dataset
ds.Tables.Add("Main")
'Add the columns
Dim col As System.Data.DataColumn
'For each colum in the datagridveiw add a new column to your table
For Each dgvCol As DataGridViewColumn In dgv.Columns
col = New System.Data.DataColumn(dgvCol.Name)
ds.Tables("Main").Columns.Add(col)
Next
'Add the rows from the datagridview
Dim row As System.Data.DataRow
Dim colcount As Integer = dgv.Columns.Count - 1
For i As Integer = 0 To dgv.Rows.Count - 1
row = ds.Tables("Main").Rows.Add
For Each column As DataGridViewColumn In dgv.Columns
row.Item(column.Index) = dgv.Rows.Item(i).Cells(column.Index).Value
Next
Next
Return ds
Catch ex As Exception
'Catch any potential errors and display them to the user
MessageBox.Show("Error Converting from DataGridView" & ex.InnerException.ToString, _
"Error Converting from DataGridView", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
Return Nothing
End Try
End Function
Edit: I flubbed the rowsetup and had to change it
