C#

static DataTable FilterDataTatbleColumns()
      {
          DataTable table = new DataTable("Orders");
          table.Columns.Add("OrderID", typeof(Int32));
          table.Columns.Add("OrderQuantity", typeof(Int32));
          table.Columns.Add("CompanyName", typeof(string));
          table.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(DateTime));

          DataRow newRow = table.NewRow();
          newRow["OrderID"] = 1;
          newRow["OrderQuantity"] = 3;
          newRow["CompanyName"] = "NewCompanyName";
          newRow["Date"] = "1979, 1, 31";

          // Add the row to the rows collection.
          table.Rows.Add(newRow);

          DataRow newRow2 = table.NewRow();
          newRow2["OrderID"] = 2;
          newRow2["OrderQuantity"] = 2;
          newRow2["CompanyName"] = "NewCompanyName1";
          table.Rows.Add(newRow2);

          DataRow newRow3 = table.NewRow();
          newRow3["OrderID"] = 3;
          newRow3["OrderQuantity"] = 2;
          newRow3["CompanyName"] = "NewCompanyName2";
          table.Rows.Add(newRow3);

          //Getting Two Columns("OrderID", "CompanyName") from the table
          DataTable NewTable = table.DefaultView.ToTable(false, "OrderID", "CompanyName");

          return NewTable;
      }

Please read the question..i asked for dataset not datatable.

Prasad Avunoori 9-Sep-14 6:15am

Hello Black Rose. We don't have columns in Dataset. Datatable of Dataset only can have columns. How would you expect columns in Dataset????????????

Sinisa Hajnal 9-Sep-14 6:11am

Quite the same, dataset contains one or more datatables.

Better yet, bind only the columns you need with added advantage of having your own header texts by disabling AutoGenerateColumns (set to false)

Solution 3

DataSet ds = <-- Get data from Webservice here
DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];
DataView view = new DataView(dt);
DataTable resultTable = view.ToTable(false, "Column1", "Column2","Column3","Column4","Column5","Column6");
dataGridView1.DataSource = resultTable ;

I am assuming you are getting data into dataset ds.
Dataset actually contains tables.
you just have take the data in datatable from data set.

I Hope it will work for you.

Solution 4

Bind full dataset (12 clmn ) to gridview and display only 6 .
For ex: if your dataset contain id and name , you just want to display only name then id don't include in design

<asp:gridvew runtat="server" ......="" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

<columns> <asp:templatefield headertext="NAME">
<headerstyle width="40">
<itemstyle horizontalalign="Center">
<itemtemplate>
<%#Eval("Name"%>

This still means you have to turn off AutoGenerateColumns

                       dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;

                       //Set Columns Count
                       dataGridView1.ColumnCount = 3;

                       //Add Columns
                       dataGridView1.Columns[0].Name = "CustomerId";
