How can I easily view the contents of a datatable or dataview in the immediate window

Question

Sometimes I will be at a breakpoint in my code and I want to view the contents of a DataTable variable (or a DataTable in a DataSet).

Answer 1

i have programmed a small method for it.. its a generalize function..

    public static void printDataTable(DataTable tbl)
    {
        string line = "";
        foreach (DataColumn item in tbl.Columns)
        {
            line += item.ColumnName +"   ";
        }
        line += "\n";
        foreach (DataRow row in tbl.Rows)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < tbl.Columns.Count; i++)
            {
                line += row[i].ToString() + "   ";
            }
            line += "\n";
        }
        Console.WriteLine(line) ;
    }
