DataTable's question in class ?

[bluehai]

Please tell me why I received errors when doing this: class MyClass : DataTable { public MyClass():base() { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); this = dt;// errors occur here, what can I do to let dt to "this" } } Thank you for your help.

What are you trying to do? When inheriting from DataTable then this is already a new empty DataTable. You could right there start adding data:

class MyClass : DataTable
{
public MyClass():base()
{
this.Columns.Add(...);
this.Rows.Add(...);
}
}

This question is not really about the DataTable class. The this reference is always read-only, regardless of where it is being used. Josh
