How to add gridview rows to a datatable?

Question

I have a gridview which will contain some \'n\' number of rows.... Now i want to add all rows of the gridview to a datatable which will be used for bulkcopy operation...

Answer 1

you can traverse datagrid row by row and make a comma separated file. then use Bulk insert or bcp for inserting data to db.

Another Solution

    DataTable dt = new DataTable();    
    for (int j = 0; j < grdList.Rows.Count; j++)
    {
        DataRow dr;
        GridViewRow row = grdList.Rows[j];
        dr = dt.NewRow();
        for (int i = 0; i < row.Cells.Count; i++)
        {
            dr[i] = row.Cells[i].Text;
        }

        dt.Rows.Add(dr);
    }

SqlBulkCopy sbc = new SqlBulkCopy(targetConnStr);
sbc.DestinationTableName = "yourDestinationTable";
sbc.WriteToServer(dt);
sbc.Close();
