Name

TableName

Synopsis

String tableName = DataTable.TableName;

DataTable.TableName = tableName;

Gets or sets the name of the DataTable.

Example

The following example sets the name of a newly created DataTable:

DataTable dt = new DataTable();

dt.TableName = "MyTable";

Notes

The value for the TableName property can also be set using the DataTable constructor as shown in the following example:

DataTable dt = new

DataTable("MyDataTable");

If the contents of the DataSet containing the table are output as XML, the TableName is used as the element tag for each row in the DataTable.

By default, TableName property has no value. If the value has not been set when the table is added to the DataTableCollection of a DataSet, the table name defaults to Table, Table1, and so on.
