Hi,

I have figured out how to do pretty much everything with DataSets in VB8. I just can't for the life of me figure out how to return the data contained in specified table, row and column. I’m sure the answer is really simple.

Please Help

Marco

Yes it is simple.

As you say you have pretty much figured out *everything* about DataSet, then Datatable row/column access would be easy for you.
As:
Dataset is a collection of tables (one or more).

C#:
myDataSet.Tables[0].Rows //0 for first table.
myDataSet.Tables[0].Columns //0 for first table

VB:
myDataSet.Tables(0).Rows
myDataSet.Tables(0).Columns

This should get you going.

Hi,

Thanks for the Quick response.

I used:
AccommodationDataSet.Tables[0].rows
AccommodationDataSet.Tables[0].columns

on "[0]" I get "Identifier Expected"
and there is no Rows or Columns properties available under the property Tables.

I'm using VB8, are you using C?

Thanks!

I did this:
Label2.Text = AccommodationDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(1).Item("AFloor")

Got it to work, and it was really simple! I really deserve a boot to the head!

Thanks Again
