Convert SqlDataSource to DataTable and DataView

Question

I have the following SqlDataSource and I want to convert it to DataView and read a column from it:

Answer 1

The SqlDataSource has a Select method which you can call to get back a DataView from your SqlDataSource - see the MSDN documentation on that.

SqlDataSource dataSource = new SqlDataSource(connectionString, selectSql);
DataView view = (DataView)dataSource.Select(args);

DataTable table = view.ToTable();

Is that what you're looking for??
