Adding Id's to items in DataRow

[mais123]

Hi, I am creating a DataTable on the fly(basically converting html table to datatable). I need a way to assign unique ID's to each cell in DataRow. I dont see datacell object to which I can assign Id's. what is the way to do it?

 //create rows
            foreach (TableRow SourceTableRow in sourceTable.Rows)
            {
                DataRow OutputTableRow = outputTable.NewRow();
                //get data from cells
                for (int i = 0; i <= SourceTableRow.Cells.Count; i++)
                {
                    OutputTableRow[i] = SourceTableRow.Cells[i].Text;
                OutputTableRow[i].ID =   SourceTableRow.Cells[i].ID;  //OutputTableRow[i] does not have ID property!
                }
                //add row to table
                outputTable.Rows.Add(OutputTableRow);

            }

Thnaks!!

[tt]SourceTableRow.Cells.ID[/tt] is the [tt]Cell.ID[/tt] property. it has nothing to do with the data of the cell. the ID is used to create the unique id on the client.

<td id="MyTable$MyRow_1$MyCell_1">value goes here</td>

DataRow does not have an Id property because there is no need for it. the id of the row (PK usually) would just be another column in the row.
