Dispalaying DataTable contents in MVC 1.0

Question

Hi,

I am new to ASP.Net MVC (I m using Ver 1.0), I wanted to display contents of a DataTable on my view. Wat is the easiest way to get it done?

Please help.

Answer 1

Here's just two options you could.

1. Iterate over your DataTable and create a more strongly-typed object.

   MyObject o = ...;
   foreach (DataRow row in tbl.Rows)
   {
       foreach (DataColumn col in tbl.Columns)
       {
           //fill in o row[col] as string ?? string.Empty;
       }
   }
   

2. Have a look at JQGrid http://arahuman.blogspot.com/2009/06/jqgrid-using-mvc-json-and-datatable.html. I'm sure you can take the example and adapt it to your needs.

Read this MVC introduction by ScottGu. You should use the solution titled "Implementing our ViewPage implementation using <%= %> Code".
