collection to dataset

[NuB]

I have a collection of data, that i'm looping thru and reading and
populating a file. Can i make that collection into a dataset so i can then
create a dataview, or dataTable to then sort, etc, thru it.

Yes, just load the dataset. This isnt 100% what you want, but it should give you some starting points:

I don't think that will work.
here is the thing, i'm reading a text file and putting the data into a
collection class. I then want to put all of those items into a dataset so i
can "manipulate" the data and display it.
so in essence i'm taking data from a text file - not a DB and need to create
a dataset then a dataview, etc.

You have to parse it, but the URL I showed you shows you how to work with a dataset once you have
parsed each "row"/

If you read the URL, you will notice that the article does not use a DB either, and thus one reason I
pointed you at it.
