Dim _sep As String = ""
Dim builder As New System.Text.StringBuilder
For Each col As DataColumn In dtable.Columns
builder.Append(_sep).Append(col.ColumnName)
_sep = sep_char
Next
writer.WriteLine(builder.ToString())
For Each row As DataRow In dtable.Rows
_sep = ""
builder = New System.Text.StringBuilder
For Each col As DataColumn In dtable.Columns
builder.Append(_sep).Append(row(col.ColumnName))

How to set command Timeout for getData() in TableAdapter
Feb 4th
One of the disadvantages when we using tableadapter to retrieve the data from database is they do not provide property to set command timeout (SHIT). This giving me a huge headache for my project which most of the entire project is using tableadapter instead of creating my own DAL or class.
After do some research on the internet, there is 1 ways to add command timeout in tableadapter dataset (.xsd file) which is
create new property inside partial class:
Double click on xxxTableAdaper and it will show you behind code in .vb file of xsd file. Add this code inside Partial Public Class xxxDataTableAdapter
Namespace xxxTableAdapters
Partial Public Class yyyTableAdapter
Public WriteOnly Property CommandTimeout() As Integer
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
Dim i As Integer = 0
While (i < Me.CommandCollection.Length)
If (Me.CommandCollection(i) IsNot Nothing) Then
Me.CommandCollection(i).CommandTimeout = value
End If
i = (i + 1)
End While
End Set
End Property
End Class
End Namespace
And how you use it, you just add 1 line of code:
Dim dt As New DataSet1TableAdapters.AddressTableAdapter
dt.CommandTimeout = 120
gridview1 = dt.GetData()
Notes:
xxxTableAdapters , xxx you replace with the name of .xsd file
yyyTableAdapter you replace with the name of table adapter
This code is tested in visual studio 2008 and 2005
