.NET - 将通用集合转换为DataTable

Question

我试图将通用集合(List)转换为DataTable.我找到了以下代码来帮助我这样做:

// Sorry about indentation
public class CollectionHelper
{
private CollectionHelper()
{
}

// this is the method I have been using
public static DataTable ConvertTo<T>(IList<T> list)
{
    DataTable table = CreateTable<T>();
    Type entityType = typeof(T);
    PropertyDescriptorCollection properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(entityType);

    foreach (T item in list)
    {
        DataRow row = table.NewRow();

        foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in properties)
        {
            row[prop.Name] = prop.GetValue(item);
        }

        table.Rows.Add(row);
    }

    return table;
}    

public static DataTable CreateTable<T>()
{
    Type entityType = typeof(T);
    DataTable table = new DataTable(entityType.Name);
    PropertyDescriptorCollection properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(entityType);

    foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in properties)
    {
        // HERE IS WHERE THE ERROR IS THROWN FOR NULLABLE TYPES
        table.Columns.Add(prop.Name, prop.PropertyType);
    }

    return table;
}
}

我的问题是,当我将MySimpleClass的一个属性更改为可空类型时,我收到以下错误:

DataSet does not support System.Nullable<>.

如何在我班级的Nullable属性/字段中执行此操作？

Answer 1

然后大概你需要将它们提升到不可空的形式,使用Nullable.GetUnderlyingType,并且可能会将一些null值改为DbNull.Value......

将作业更改为:

row[prop.Name] = prop.GetValue(item) ?? DBNull.Value;

并在添加列时:

table.Columns.Add(prop.Name, Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(
            prop.PropertyType) ?? prop.PropertyType);

它有效.(??是null-coalescing运算符;如果它是非null,则使用第一个操作数,否则计算并使用第二个操作数)

Answer 2

好.由于DataSet不支持可空类型,因此您必须检查属性是否为泛型类型,获取该类型的泛型定义,然后使用或者获取参数(实际类型)Nullable.GetUnderlyingType.如果值为null,则只需DBNull.Value在DataSet中使用.

Answer 3

如果Nullable.GetUnderlyingType()给出的prop.PropertyType返回值为非null值,请将其用作列的类型.否则,使用prop.PropertyType自己.

Answer 4

我知道这个问题很老了，但我制作的扩展方法也遇到了同样的问题。使用 Marc Gravell 的回复，我能够修改我的代码。此扩展方法将处理原始类型、字符串、枚举和具有原始属性的对象的列表。

    // Lists of type System.String and System.Enum (which includes enumerations and structs) must be handled differently

    {

        dataTable.Columns.Add(entityType.Name);
