This property is read only.

C# Example

Converting a spreadsheet to tabular text:

using System.Data;

// Note: run this code in a C# workspace node

// Access spreadsheet ...
var ssObj = InputContainer[0].DataSource;
var nrows = ssObj.NumberOfCases;
var ncols = ssObj.NumberOfVariables;

// Create DataTable object ...
DataTable dtObj = new DataTable();
Array varNames = (Array)(object)ssObj.VariableNames;

// Add columns .....
foreach(object varName in varNames)
{
    string sVarName = (string)varName;
    dtObj.Columns.Add(sVarName);
}

// Populate rows ....
for(int i = 1; i <= nrows; i++)
{
    var rowObj = ssObj.GetData(i, 1, 1, ncols, true);
    DataRow row = dtObj.NewRow();

    for(int j = 0; j < ncols; j++)
    {
        row[j] = rowObj[1, j + 1];
    }

    dtObj.Rows.Add(row);
}

// print Data Table ...
Console.WriteLine("Data");
Console.WriteLine("-----------------------");
foreach(DataColumn colObj in dtObj.Columns)
{
    Console.Write("{0}\t", colObj.ColumnName);
}

foreach(DataRow rowObj in dtObj.Rows)
{
    Console.WriteLine(" ");
    for(int i = 0; i < ncols; i++)
    {
        Console.Write("{0}\t\t", rowObj[i]);
    }
}

Console.WriteLine("\n-----------------------");

Console.WriteLine("All done!");
