Describes the version of data in a DataRow.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Remarks

The DataViewRowState values are used either to retrieve a particular version of data from a DataRow, or to determine what versions exist.

Set the RowStateFilter property of the DataView to specify which version or versions of data you want to view.

You can use the Boolean operator Or with the values to get more than one version.

The DataTable uses DataViewRowState in the Select method.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] In the following example DataTable is created with a single column. The data and is changed, and the RowStateFilter of the DataView is set to display different row sets, depending on the DataViewRowState.

[Visual Basic] 
Private Sub DemonstrateRowState()
    Dim i As Integer
    ' Create a DataTable with one column.
    Dim myTable As New DataTable("myTable")
    Dim myColumn As New DataColumn("myColumn")
    myTable.Columns.Add(myColumn)
    ' Add ten rows.
    Dim myRow As DataRow
    For i = 0 To 9
        myRow = myTable.NewRow()
        myRow("myColumn") = "item " + i.ToString()
        myTable.Rows.Add(myRow)
    Next i
    myTable.AcceptChanges()
    ' Create a DataView with the table.
    Dim myView As New DataView(myTable)
    ' Change one row's value:
    myTable.Rows(1)("myColumn") = "Hello"
    ' Add one row:
    myRow = myTable.NewRow()
    myRow("myColumn") = "World"
    myTable.Rows.Add(myRow)
    ' Set the RowStateFilter to display only Added and modified rows.
    myView.RowStateFilter = _
       DataViewRowState.Added Or DataViewRowState.ModifiedCurrent
    ' Print those rows. Output = "Hello" "World";
    PrintView(myView, "ModifiedCurrent and Added")
    ' Set filter to display on originals of modified rows.
    myView.RowStateFilter = DataViewRowState.ModifiedOriginal
    PrintView(myView, "ModifiedOriginal")
    ' Delete three rows.
    myTable.Rows(1).Delete()
    myTable.Rows(2).Delete()
    myTable.Rows(3).Delete()
    ' Set the RowStateFilter to display only Added and modified rows.
    myView.RowStateFilter = DataViewRowState.Deleted
    PrintView(myView, "Deleted")
    'Set filter to display only current.
    myView.RowStateFilter = DataViewRowState.CurrentRows
    PrintView(myView, "Current")
    ' Set filter to display only unchanged rows.
    myView.RowStateFilter = DataViewRowState.Unchanged
    PrintView(myView, "Unchanged")
    ' Set filter to display only original rows.
    myView.RowStateFilter = DataViewRowState.OriginalRows
    PrintView(myView, "OriginalRows")
