You can use more than one column too in second parameter like,

ds.Tables["MyTable"].DefaultView.ToTable(true,”column_name1”,”column_name2”);

So that u can get the distinct rows with many columns.

Yeah qasim, that’s why I have mentioned the limitation as well so that reader knows the limitation before proceeding further on the solution.

But the problem with this is that it only returns one column for example.
if you have a table with column
employee_name, employee_address, employee_department
and data
——————————————————-
Waseem abc, lahore IT
Waseem abc, Islamabad Finance

and you want to get the complete distinct row based on employee name then it will only return employee name in result not the complete row.

Is there a way to apply distinct filter on dataset or datatable so that we can get complete distinct row
