I
have created a datatable named “Employees” which has the following columns and
rows as shown in Figure.

Here you will see how to get all the datacolumn values from Employees datatable using LINQ.
Code snippet:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Data; namespace LINQinDatatable { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //Create a datatable DataTable dtEmployees = new
DataTable("Employees"); //Create a datacolumn to store Employee name values DataColumn dcName = new
DataColumn("Name"); //Create a datacolumn to store Employee designation values DataColumn
dcDesignation = new DataColumn("Designation"); //Create a datacolumn to store Employee location values DataColumn dcLocation = new
DataColumn("Location"); //Add the datacolumns to the datatable
dtEmployees.Columns.Add(dcName);
dtEmployees.Columns.Add(dcDesignation);
dtEmployees.Columns.Add(dcLocation); //Create datarows DataRow drEmployee = dtEmployees.NewRow();
drEmployee[dcName] = "Vijai";
drEmployee[dcDesignation] = "Associate";
drEmployee[dcLocation] = "Bangalore"; DataRow drEmployee1 = dtEmployees.NewRow();
drEmployee1[dcName] = "Anand";
drEmployee1[dcDesignation] = "Associate";
drEmployee1[dcLocation] = "Chennai"; //Add the datarow to the datatable
dtEmployees.Rows.Add(drEmployee);
dtEmployees.Rows.Add(drEmployee1);
//LINQ to query all the values from the datatable IEnumerable < DataRow
> query = from dt in
dtEmployees.AsEnumerable()
select dt; //Get all the values from datatble foreach (DataRow
dr in query) {
Console.WriteLine("----------------------------------");
Console.WriteLine(dr.Field<string>("Name"));
Console.WriteLine(dr.Field<string>("Designation"));
Console.WriteLine(dr.Field<string>("Location")); } Console.ReadLine(); } } }
Output:
