Safely Removing DataRow In ForEach

Question

I don\'t understand why this code does not work.

foreach (DataRow dataRow in dataTable.Rows)
{
    if (true)
    {
        dataRow.Delete();
    }
}
<         


        

Answer 1

If you call the delete method you just have to call AcceptChanges() on the table you are modifying, after the foreach loop.

foreach (DataRow dataRow in dataTable.Rows)
{
    if (true)
    {
        dataRow.Delete();
    }
}

dataTable.AcceptChanges();

The delete method simply marks the row for deletion.
