Print Contents Of A DataTable

Question

Currently I have code which looks up a database table through a SQL connection and inserts the top five rows into a Datatable (Table).

using(SqlCommand _cmd = new SqlCommand(queryStatement, _con))
{
    DataTable Table = new DataTable("TestTable");

    SqlDataAdapter _dap = new SqlDataAdapter(_cmd);

    _con.Open();
    _dap.Fill(Table);
    _con.Close();
}

How do I then print the contents of this table to the console for the user to see?

After digging around, is it possible that I should bind the contents to a list view, or is there a way to print them directly? I'm not concerned with design at this stage, just the data.

Any pointers would be great, thanks!

Answer 1

you can try this code :

foreach(DataRow dataRow in Table.Rows)
{
    foreach(var item in dataRow.ItemArray)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
}

Update 1

DataTable Table = new DataTable("TestTable");
using(SqlCommand _cmd = new SqlCommand(queryStatement, _con))
{
    SqlDataAdapter _dap = new SqlDataAdapter(_cmd);
    _con.Open();
    _dap.Fill(Table);
    _con.Close();

}
Console.WriteLine(Table.Rows.Count);
foreach(DataRow dataRow in Table.Rows)
{
    foreach(var item in dataRow.ItemArray)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
}
