Hi Arvind In ASP.Net  DataRow class provides the functionality to add a new row i.e. new record into the DataTable . DataRow object inherits the schema of ASP.Net DataTable and allows you to add the values for each DataColumn according to the specified DataType for a data column of DataTable. You can use the zero based index number of DataColumn or column name to pass the value for specific column in the new DataRow. Index of the DataColumn depends upon the order of adding a DataColumn to the DataTable.

A DataTable is essentially a collection of DataRows. You can iterate through the rows with code such as this: foreach(DataRow row in dataTable1.Rows) { // do something with row } A DataRow in turn is a collection of Items - one for each column in the DataTable. A DataTable also contains a Columns collection containing a DataColumn object for each column.
