How do you take two datatables and match values, then add something to a column in the matched row values?

Вопрос
I have two datatables and I need to match zipcodes from each of the datatables, and every time the program finds a match, I need to set a column in the matched rows to a string. Here is my code.
I do not know what to do in the foreach loop, or if there is an easier way to do this, please say it.
//Datatable for entire list of zipcodes
DataTable datat = new DataTable("DATA");
DataColumn state = new DataColumn();
DataColumn county = new DataColumn();
DataColumn zipcode = new DataColumn();
DataColumn latitude = new DataColumn();
DataColumn longitude = new DataColumn();
DataColumn salesperson = new DataColumn();
DataColumn originalrec = new DataColumn();
//Add the columns to the datatable
datat.Columns.Add(state);
datat.Columns.Add(county);
datat.Columns.Add(zipcode);
datat.Columns.Add(latitude);
datat.Columns.Add(longitude);
datat.Columns.Add(salesperson);
datat.Columns.Add(originalrec);
return datat;
}
private static DataTable InitData2()
{
//Datatable for entire list of zipcodes
DataTable datat2 = new DataTable("DATA");
DataColumn ctype = new DataColumn();
DataColumn csalesperson = new DataColumn();
DataColumn czipcode = new DataColumn();
//Add the columns to the datatable
datat2.Columns.Add(ctype);
datat2.Columns.Add(csalesperson);
datat2.Columns.Add(czipcode);
return datat2;
}
private static String InitPath()
{
string path = "C:/Documents and Settings/Andre/Desktop/SalesMap/data.csv";
return path;
}
private static String InitPath2()
{
string path2 = "C:/Documents and Settings/Andre/Desktop/SalesMap/CUSTOMER_PROSPECT_SALESPERSON.csv";
return path2;
}
public static void Main()
{
try
{
DataTable dt = InitData1();
DataTable dt2 = InitData2();
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(InitPath());
StreamReader sr2 = new StreamReader(InitPath2());
String csvData = string.Empty;
String csvData2 = string.Empty;
while ((csvData = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
String[] data = csvData.Split(',');
//dt.Rows.Add(data);
DataRow newRow1 = dt.NewRow();
newRow1[0] = data[0].ToString();
newRow1[1] = data[1].ToString();
newRow1[2] = data[2].ToString();
newRow1[3] = data[3].ToString();
newRow1[4] = data[4].ToString();
newRow1[5] = "";
newRow1[6] = "";
dt.Rows.Add(newRow1);
Console.WriteLine("Row added for: dt");
}
dt.WriteXml(@"c:\test\dt1.xml");
sr.Close();
while ((csvData2 = sr2.ReadLine()) != null)
{
String[] data2 = csvData2.Split(',');
DataRow newRow2 = dt2.NewRow();
newRow2[0] = data2[0].ToString();
newRow2[1] = data2[1].ToString();
newRow2[2] = data2[2].ToString();
dt2.Rows.Add(newRow2);
Console.WriteLine("Row added for: dt2");
}
dt2.WriteXml(@"c:\test\dt2.xml");
sr2.Close();
foreach (DataRow row1 in dt.Rows)
{
//Dont know what to do here
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
//Console.WriteLine("The files could not be read:");
//Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"c:\test\error.txt");
sw.WriteLine(e.Message);
sw.Close();
}
}
}
}

Not sure if i understood at all. But as i can imagine the look it should be like this:
DataTable dtSampleOne = new DataTable();
DataTable dtSampleTwo = new DataTable();
foreach (DataRow rowSampleOne in dtSampleOne.Rows)
{
string zipCodeSampleOne = rowSampleOne["zipCodeToMatchOne"].ToString();
foreach (DataRow rowSampleTwo in dtSampleTwo.Rows)
{
if (rowSampleTwo["zipCodeToMatchTwo"].ToString().Equals(zipCodeSampleOne))
{
// Do your stuff here
}
}
}
I'll keep in touch if you need anything.

The easiest way would be to do it all in the stored procedure. So your stored procedure does a simple match (probably use intersect) and returns result. If you cannot use stored procedures, I would then select both sets and load in into Lists, then you can use LINQ commands to do Intersect. No need for foreach loops.
List<string> list1 = // load list from db
List<string> list2 = // load second list from db
var result = list1.Intersect(list2);
This is it
Using LINQ, we can further improve the code given by Luis Hernández though it does the job.
In the given solution (Luis Hernández), we have 2 loops. Assume SampleOne as 100 rows and SampleTwo as 200 rows. We will end up with looping 100 X 200 times!
Instead, we can get the matching records, and we can loop through with only those records. This would avoid unnecessary loops.
var sampleOne = new DataTable();
var sampleTwo = new DataTable();
// TODO : I assume these two table have the common column "ZipCode".
// TODO : Add your sample data here!
var matchingRows = from s1 in sampleOne.AsEnumerable()
join s2 in sampleTwo.AsEnumerable() on s1.Field<string>("ZipCode") equals s2.Field<string>("ZipCode")
select s1;
foreach (var row in matchingRows)
{
// Do your stuff here !
}
Please don't hesitate to inform me If my solution is not up to the mark!
