C# DataRow Empty-check

A simple method along the lines of:

bool AreAllColumnsEmpty(DataRow dr)
{
 if (dr == null)
 {
  return true;
 }
 else
 {
  foreach(var value in dr.ItemArray)
  {
    if (value != null)
    {
      return false;
    }
  }
  return true;
 }
}

Should give you what you're after, and to make it "nice" (as there's nothing as far as I'm aware, in the Framework), you could wrap it up as an extension method, and then your resultant code would be:

if (datarow.AreAllColumnsEmpty())
{
}
else
{
}

I created an extension method (gosh I wish Java had these) called IsEmpty as follows:

public static bool IsEmpty(this DataRow row)
{
    return row == null || row.ItemArray.All(i => i is DBNull);
}

The other answers here are correct. I just felt mine lent brevity in its succinct use of Linq to Objects. BTW, this is really useful in conjunction with Excel parsing since users may tack on a row down the page (thousands of lines) with no regard to how that affects parsing the data.

In the same class, I put any other helpers I found useful, like parsers so that if the field contains text that you know should be a number, you can parse it fluently. Minor pro tip for anyone new to the idea. (Anyone at SO, really? Nah!)

With that in mind, here is an enhanced version:

public static bool IsEmpty(this DataRow row)
{
    return row == null || row.ItemArray.All(i => i.IsNullEquivalent());
}

public static bool IsNullEquivalent(this object value)
{
    return value == null
           || value is DBNull
           || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value.ToString());
}

Now you have another useful helper, IsNullEquivalent which can be used in this context and any other, too. You could extend this to include things like "n/a" or "TBD" if you know that your data has placeholders like that.

I prefer approach of Tommy Carlier, but with a little change.

foreach (DataColumn column in row.Table.Columns)
    if (!row.IsNull(column))
      return false;

  return true;

I suppose this approach looks more simple and bright.
