IDwDataImporter.Import(string text, DwBuffer dwbuffer, int startRow, int endRow, int startColumn) Method

.NET Standard 2.x

Imports data into the DataStore specified buffer with the specified DataFormat, and specifies the start and end positions of the rows and the start position of the columns.

Namespace: DWNet.Data

Assembly: DWNet.Data.dll

Syntax

int Import(string text, DwBuffer dwbuffer, int startRow, int endRow, int startColumn);

Parameters

text System.String

Data string in the specified format.

The JSON string must comply with the plain-format JSON or DataWindow JSON.

dwbuffer DWNet.Data.DwBuffer

The specified buffer of the DataStore.

A value of the DwBuffer enumerated datatype identifying the DataWindow buffer into which you want to import the data.

For plain-format JSON: Imports the JSON data to the specified buffer.

For DataWindow JSON: Imports data from the specified buffer from the JSON string to the corresponding buffer.

startRow System.Int32

The zero-based index number of the first row in the buffer that you want to export.

endRow System.Int32

The zero-based index number of the last row in the buffer that you want to export.

If it is negative, it indicates the rest of rows.

startColumn System.Int32

The zero-based index number of the first column in the buffer that you want to export.

Returns

System.Int32

Returns the number of rows that were imported if it succeeds.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to import the department data from between the starting row and the ending row and from the starting column in a JSON string to the specified buffer.
