I came across that situation; I don't think there is anything in the stock objects, I had to write a custom code stage:
' Inputs: Collection A, Collection B
' Outputs: Collection Out
Collection_Out = Collection_A
For Each Column As DataColumn In Collection_B.Columns
If Not Collection_Out.Columns.Contains(Column.ColumnName) Then
Collection_Out.Columns.Add(Column.ColumnName, Column.DataType)
End If
Next
For Each Row As DataRow In Collection_B.Rows
Dim NewRow As DataRow = Collection_Out.NewRow
For Each Column As DataColumn In Collection_B.Columns
NewRow(Column.ColumnName) = Row(Column.ColumnName)
Next
Collection_Out.Rows.Add(NewRow)
Next

Subject: Combo of Merge Collections and Append Rows to Collection
Hi,
I need some help. I am trying to join / merge two collections. I cant append rows to collection because the field types are not exactly the same between the two collections.. Also I can not use merge collections because they do have field names in common. Is there a middle ground that joins collections with some similar columns and some columns that are different names or types? Thanks
