I am taking the data into a 2d string in C#. Defined as :: 

string[,] strValueBasic = new string[GridView1.Rows.Count,49];

Now i want the data to be taken into DataRows and add these rows into the DataTable.

     for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
                {
                    DataRow drRow = dtNew.NewRow();
                    drRow.ItemArray = strValueBasic[i];
                    dtNew.Rows.Add(drRow);
                }

But i am not able to access this 2d String array in the step

                    drRow.ItemArray = strValueBasic[i];

It is giving error as Wrong number of indices inside [], expected 2.

I know that it requires 2 indices, but than i want the whole row of that string array to be filled inside that DataRow.

Also the structure of DataRow and String Array is same.

If you want to assign whole row your strValueBasic should be defined as string[][]. Not the 2D array but array of arrays. That changes initialization too, each array can have different size so you have to create each separately. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2s05feca.aspx

Thats because strValueBasic is a 2D array and you're trying to access it as it's a 1D array.

 for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
            {
                DataRow drRow = dtNew.NewRow();
                drRow.ItemArray = strValueBasic[i, iSomeOtherValue];
                dtNew.Rows.Add(drRow);
            }

Notice iSomeOtherValue, you're missing something!
