Hi dinesh, you can try this ! class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add( "Name" , typeof ( string )); dt.Columns.Add( "bike name" , typeof ( string )); dt.Columns.Add( "Rate" , typeof ( int )); dt.Rows.Add( "Ram" , "A" ,20); dt.Rows.Add( "Sri" , "B" , 10); dt.Rows.Add( "dina" , "C" , 40); dt.Rows.Add( "Ram" , "D" , 50); dt.Rows.Add( "Sri" , "E" , 60); dt.Rows.Add( "dina" , "F" , 70); dt.Rows.Add( "Ram" , "S" , 80); dt.Rows.Add( "Sri" , "Q" , 65); dt.Rows.Add( "dina" , "L" , 70); dt.Rows.Add( "Sonu" , "B" , 30); for ( int i = 0; i { Console.WriteLine(dt.Rows[i].Field string >(0) + "-" + dt.Rows[i].Field string >(1) + "-" + dt.Rows[i].Field int >(2)); } dt.Select( "Name='Ram'" ).ToList().ForEach(x=>x.Delete()); dt.AcceptChanges(); Console.WriteLine( "=====After delete=====" ); for ( int i = 0; i { Console.WriteLine(dt.Rows[i].Field string >(0) + "-" + dt.Rows[i].Field string >(1) + "-" + dt.Rows[i].Field int >(2)); } Console.Read(); } the result :

Hi, Try below code - DataView view = new DataView(dt); view.RowFilter = ("Name 'Ram'"); dt = view.ToTable(); Check below blog for knowing more about filtering. http://midhuntp.blogspot.in/2017/01/filtering-dataset-based-on-column.html

Dinesh Santhalingam · Answer

Its remove the rows but the data table can't accept the changes.@ amol narkhede

Dinesh Santhalingam · Answer

dt.Rows.Remove(dt.AsEnumerable().Where( r = > r.Field("Name")== "Ram").FirstOrDefault()); Its creating error @Mangesh. It said Error 11 The type arguments for method 'System.Data.DataRowExtensions.Field (System.Data.DataRow, int)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.

Mangesh Gaherwar · Answer

Dinesh you just want To Remove the rows with matching conditions right???

Dinesh Santhalingam · Answer

Yea i understand.But some time i want to remove some row from data table dynamically thats why.,@ Chetan Ranpariya

Chetan Ranpariya · Answer

There is not way you can delete record from data table without looping thru rows. Why don't you execute delete query directly on your database and reload the data table by running select query again? This would avoid looping and your have data updated in db and you reload the fresh data from the db.

Name	bike name	Rate
Ram	A	20
Sri	B	10
dina	C	40
Ram	D	50
Sri	E	60
dina	F	70
Ram	S	80
Sri	Q	65
dina	L	70
Sonu	B	30
