DataView Row Count after Filtering Data in C# ASP.NET

ASH

7 years ago

In this post let’s see how we can count the number of Rows in a filtered DataView.

Syntax for DataView Row Count after filter :

DataViewName.Count;

The “Count” will retrieve the number of records in System.Data.DataView after filtering the Data in it. It will return the value as int, DataViewName.Count.ToString() will convert it to String value.

Usage :

lblCount.Text = “Total record(s) : ” + dv.Count.ToString(); // no. of records, dv is my DataView name or Id

Example :

I’m using NorthWind Database for this project. See this post, how you can install NorthWind Database on SQL Server Database.

con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from [Quarterly Orders]", con);
sqlAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
sqlAdapter.Fill(dt);

con.Close();
DataView dv = dt.DefaultView;
dv.RowFilter = "City like 'B%'";
dataGridView.DataSource = dv;

lblCount.Text = "Total record(s) : " + dv.Count.ToString(); // no. of records, dv is my DataView name or Id
dataGridView.DataBind();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

lblCount.Text = ex.Message.ToString();

}
