Prerequisites
  • Xamarin Studio.
  • Xcode.
The steps given below are required to be followed in order to Store Values Using DataTable in Xamarin iOS, using Xamarin Studio.

Step 1

Go To Xamarin Studio.

Click New Solution—> select iOS—>select App--> Choose single View App. Afterwards, click Next.

Xamarin

Step 2

In this step, configure your app. Give the app name (Ex:sample), Organization Identifier. Afterwards, click Next.

Xamarin

Step 3

In this step, give your project name (Ex: Sample) and solution name (Ex: Sample). Give the path of your project. Afterwards, click Create.

Step 9

In this step, go to the ViewController.cs page. Write the code given below.

ViewController.cs
  1. using System;  
  2. using UIKit;  
  3. using System.Data;  
  4. namespace XamariniOSDataTable {  
  5.     public partial class ViewController: UIViewController {  
  6.         protected ViewController(IntPtr handle): base(handle) {  
  7.             // Note: this .ctor should not contain any initialization logic.  
  8.         }  
  9.         public override void ViewDidLoad() {  
  10.             base.ViewDidLoad();  
  11.         }  
  12.         partial void UIButton16_TouchUpInside(UIButton sender) {  
  13.             DataTable table = GetValue(txtValue1.Text, txtValue2.Text);  
  14.             foreach(DataRow row in table.Rows) {  
  15.                 lblValue1.Text = row[0].ToString();  
  16.                 lblValue2.Text = row[1].ToString();  
  17.             }  
  18.         }  
  19.         partial void UIButton11_TouchUpInside(UIButton sender) {  
  20.             DataTable table = GetValue(txtValue1.Text, txtValue2.Text);  
  21.             UIAlertView alert = new UIAlertView("Success""Data has been Stored Successfully."null"Close"null);  
  22.             alert.Show();  
  23.         }  
  24.         public DataTable GetValue(string v1, string v2) {  
  25.             DataTable table = new DataTable();  
  26.             table.Columns.Add("Value1"typeof(string));  
  27.             table.Columns.Add("Value2"typeof(string));  
  28.             table.Rows.Add(v1, v2);  
  29.             return table;  
  30.         }  
  31.         public override void DidReceiveMemoryWarning() {  
  32.             base.DidReceiveMemoryWarning();  
  33.             // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.  
  34.         }  
  35.     }  
  36. }
