This Row already belongs to another table error when trying to add rows?

Question

I have a DataTable which has some rows and I am using the select to filter the rows to get a collection of DataRows which I then loop through using foreach and add it to ano

Answer 1

You need to create a new Row with the values from dr first. A DataRow can only belong to a single DataTable.

You can also use Add which takes an array of values:

myTable.Rows.Add(dr.ItemArray)

Or probably even better:

// This works because the row was added to the original table.
myTable.ImportRow(dr);

// The following won't work. No data will be added or exception thrown.
var drFail = dt.NewRow()
drFail["CustomerID"] = "[Your data here]";
// dt.Rows.Add(row); // Uncomment for import to succeed.
myTable.ImportRow(drFail);
