    Thanks, Celvin. Unfortunately I can't find any documentation on this. Can you share a snippet of code of how to use the populate from data table. Thanks.

      Didn't test this but it should work.

      ' assuming yourDataTable will have been obtained already
Dim includeColHeaderRow as Boolean = True
Dim useDataTypes as Boolean = True  ' try switching this on/off to compare results
args.TableView.PopulateFromDataTable(dataTable, includeColHeaderRow, useDataTypes)
return args.TableView

        Where I should create the datatable? Is the datatable a different table view?

        Thx
