Select TOP 5 * from SomeTable, using Dataview.RowFilter?

Question

I need to select 5 most recent rows from cached Dataview object, is there any way to do that?

I\'ve tried but Indexer DataColumn is empty. :

public          


        

Answer 1

I encountered the same sample above in this article, but the last post says the provided code doesn't work.

However, this article has a solution that does work, so here's the code you could use:

public static DataView getLatestFourActive() {
    DataTable productDataTable = getAll().ToTable();
    DataTable cloneDataTable = productDataTable.Clone();

    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        cloneDataTable.ImportRow(productDataTable.Rows[i]);
    }       
    return new DataView(cloneDataTable);
}

Answer 2

getALL().Take(5);
