How to filter a dataTable with Linq to datatable?

To filter a DataTable using LINQ to DataTable, you can use the DataTable.AsEnumerable() extension method to convert the DataTable to an IEnumerable<DataRow>, and then use LINQ to query the data.

Here's an example of how to filter a DataTable using LINQ to DataTable:

using System.Linq;

// Assume we have a DataTable named "myDataTable" with columns "ID" and "Name"

// Filter the DataTable to rows where the Name column contains "John"
var filteredRows = myDataTable.AsEnumerable().Where(row => row.Field<string>("Name").Contains("John"));

// Iterate over the filtered rows and print the ID and Name columns
foreach (var row in filteredRows)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ID: {row.Field<int>("ID")}, Name: {row.Field<string>("Name")}");
}

In this example, the myDataTable DataTable is first converted to an IEnumerable<DataRow> using the AsEnumerable() extension method.

The Where() method is then used to filter the data to rows where the Name column contains the string "John". The row.Field<string>("Name") syntax is used to retrieve the value of the Name column from each row.

Finally, the filtered rows are iterated over using a foreach loop, and the ID and Name columns are printed to the console using the Field<int>() and Field<string>() extension methods.

Note that you can use other LINQ operators such as Select(), OrderBy(), and GroupBy() to further manipulate the data as needed.
