How to return a DataSet to a View

Question

I am sending a standard Sql select statement to my Sql box via the SqlDataAdapter, then populating a DataSet object.

I can access the rows in the resulting DataSet,

Answer 1

In your controller put the code like this

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult View(Modelclass viewmodel)
{
    List employees = new List();
    DataSet ds = viewmodel.GetAllAuthors();
    var empList = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable().Select(dataRow => new Modelclass{
       AuthorId = dataRow.Field("AuthorId"),
        Fname = dataRow.Field("FName"),
       Lname = dataRow.Field("Lname")
    });
    var list = empList.ToList();



    return View(list);
}

And in view

@{
var gd = new WebGrid(Model, canPage: true, rowsPerPage: 5, selectionFieldName: "selectedRow",ajaxUpdateContainerId: "gridContent");
    gd.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.NextPrevious);}
@gd.GetHtml(tableStyle: "table",

        columns: gd.Columns(
                 gd.Column("AuthorId", "AuthorId"),
                 gd.Column("Fname", " Fname"),
                 gd.Column("Lname", "Lname", style: "description")

 ))
