Transpose Datatable C#

transponse datatable in c#, transpose data table in c#, transpose data table, transpose data table r, What is the best way to transpose a data

Introduction

Dataset and datatable are the lifelines of asp.net (c#). Without data table & dataset we are short, inflexible, expensive, unmanageable and less availability. Recently I dealt greatly with transposed datatable in C#. Data was throwing me in vertical and I need to manipulate data back into horizontally. This is very time consuming to manage the data properly according to our situation, so it needs me to manage transpose datatable in c# according to situation; moreover I motivated to share this one in detail. I have provided steps how can we generate transpose datatable in c# as below:
using System.Data;
Step 1: In first step, I have added some required .net controls to view transpose data table in Gridview.

Step 2: I have added some dummy data into inputTable:


protected void tc_button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      DataTable inputTable = new DataTable();

      inputTable.TableName = "InputTable";

      inputTable.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(System.String));
      inputTable.Columns.Add("Value_Text", typeof(System.String));

      inputTable.Rows.Add("Table_ID", "1");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Country", "India");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Country_Flag", "false");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("ReciveID", "2");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Campaign_ID", "3");

      inputTable.Rows.Add("Table_ID", "2");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Country", "USA");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Country_Flag", "false");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("ReciveID", "21");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Campaign_ID", "22");

      inputTable.Rows.Add("Table_ID", "3");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Country", "Canada");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Country_Flag", "false");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("ReciveID", "3");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Campaign_ID", "31");

      inputTable.Rows.Add("Table_ID", "4");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Country", "Austria");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Country_Flag", "false");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("ReciveID", "4");
      inputTable.Rows.Add("Campaign_ID", "41");

      DataTable transposedTable = GenerateTransposedTableinCsharp(inputTable);
      transposedTable.TableName = "TC-TransponsedTable";
      transposedTable.Columns.Remove("Name");
      tc_gvresults.DataSource = transposedTable;
      tc_gvresults.Visible = true;
      tc_gvresults.DataBind();
  }


Input Table


Step 3: Here I have written complete method GenerateTransposedTableinCsharp to generate transpose datatable in C#.
private DataTable GenerateTransposedTableinCsharp(DataTable inputTable)
  {
      DataTable outputTable = new DataTable();

      outputTable.Columns.Add(inputTable.Columns[0].ColumnName.ToString());

      foreach (DataRow inRow in inputTable.Rows)
      {
    string newColName = inRow[0].ToString();
    DataColumnCollection columns = outputTable.Columns;

    if (columns.Contains(newColName))
    {
        // do nothing
    }
    else
    {
        outputTable.Columns.Add(newColName);
    }
      }

      Int32 iColCount = Convert.ToInt32(iTotalRows(inputTable));
      string _Col = string.Empty;
      string _ColRep = string.Empty;
      Int32 _rCount = 0;
      Int32 _FirstRow = 0;
      Int32 _NewRow = 0;

      for (int rCount = 0; rCount <= iColCount; rCount++)
      {
    DataRow newRow = outputTable.NewRow();
    
    newRow[0] = inputTable.Columns[1].ColumnName.ToString();
    for (int cCount = _rCount; _rCount <= inputTable.Rows.Count - 1; cCount++)
    {
        if (_FirstRow == 0)
        {
      _ColRep = inputTable.Rows[cCount][0].ToString();
        }

        if (_FirstRow > 0)
        {
      _Col = inputTable.Rows[cCount][0].ToString();
        }
        _FirstRow += 1;

        if (_ColRep == _Col)
        {
      _rCount = cCount;
      _FirstRow = 0;
      _NewRow = 0;
      _Col = "";
      break;
        }
        else
        {
      string colValue = inputTable.Rows[cCount][1].ToString();
      newRow[_NewRow + 1] = colValue;
        }
        _rCount = _rCount + 1;
        _NewRow = _NewRow + 1;
    }
    outputTable.Rows.Add(newRow);
      }
      return outputTable;
  }
}

I have written under above code a helper method to write rows to columns:


  private decimal iTotalRows(DataTable inputTable)
  {
      int _FirstRow = 0;
      string _ColRep = "";
      string _Col = "";
      Decimal _RetRows = 0;
      Int32 _TotalRecs = Convert.ToInt32(inputTable.Rows.Count - 1);

      for (int cCount = 0; cCount <= inputTable.Rows.Count - 1; cCount++)
      {
    if (_FirstRow == 0)
    {
        _ColRep = inputTable.Rows[cCount][0].ToString();
    }

    if (_FirstRow > 0)
    {
        _Col = inputTable.Rows[cCount][0].ToString();
    }
    if (_ColRep == _Col)
    {
        Int32 iTotRow = cCount;
        iTotRow = iTotRow + 1;
        //string _RRows;
        _RetRows = Convert.ToDecimal(Convert.ToDecimal(_TotalRecs) / Convert.ToDecimal(iTotRow));
        _RetRows = Math.Ceiling(_RetRows);
        break;
    }
    _FirstRow += 1;
      }

      return _RetRows;
  }

TC TransponsedTable

Step 4: Now, I have written completely code in code behind and HTML. Next I am ready to hit button “Hit Me!” to bind results into GridView control in C#.

Hit Me!

Step 5: After hitting the button, now transpose table perfectly showing in gridview.

Above key steps show how can we generate transpose datatable in c#, if any help more required on it, I am very happy to assist my digital world.
