Retrieve Row using static method?

galextudor asked:

Hey,

I need some assistance - it's been a while since I've written code, and as such I quickly got lost in it.

I have a question:

I have a form with a gridView, the gridView contains information from a table called Orders. Each record is of type Order.

I then have a static int method that is used to return the information contained in the last of the records of the table, inside a given column.

The call to this method is made using parameter of type Type and one a string - the field name from where the information is to be retrieved.

So how should i proceed? I know a bunch of ways, but not any way in which to do this that doesn't include changing the way the method is called (or parameter types), or turning the method from static to non-static.
