I have been able to integrate datatables to my website.

Also created headers for the table

Coop. Number Staff Name ID Card Number Department Phone Email Edit Delete

This is the code that fetches vaues from the sql server into my dataset then to my datatabe

ds = DALCooperators.MCS_Cooperators_Fetch()
dtable = ds.Tables(0)

What is left is the synchronzation between my datatable and the Datatables to display the rows and columns

    First you need to make sure your data structure is correct. This page discusses the supported structures and gives examples of how to provide the data during Datatables initialization.
    https://datatables.net/manual/data/

    Or you can use rows.add() followed by draw() to display the data after Datatables has been initialized.

    The easiest way is to use the DataTables Editor. It is well worth the small cost of a developer license. There is a trial period to allow you to evaluate.

    Otherwise you will need to write your own Javascript code to handle the updates based on your specific requirements.
