Name

ParentTable

Synopsis

DataTable dt = DataRelation.ParentTable;

Retrieves the DataTable object for the parent table in the relationship. For example, in a Customer → Orders relationship, this is the Customers table. This property is primarily included for convenience; you can also retrieve the table directly from the DataSet.

Example

The following code retrieves the parent DataTable and displays some basic information about it in a console window:

DataTable dt = dr.ParentTable;



// Print the name and number of rows of the child table.

Console.WriteLine(dt.TableName, dt.Rows.Count.ToString());
