Hi Nicholas
Thanks
The problem is that the relation is at different levels
This is a dataset with 3 tables
table1 shows 2 relations l1 and l2
From Table1 I get a row collection from the parent row with relation
From 1 row from collection I get another collectiom with another relation
The Tables are all cascading
I am starting at the top level maybe I should start at the bottom???
I am submitting another question to the group because I am not sure if this
is easier or
xml and xpath if I use the xsd - this dataset can have any number of fields
and relations
and I get it down stream
Thanks
DataRow [] rows = ds.Tables[1].Rows[p].GetChildRows("l1");
for ( int t = 0; t < rows.Length; t++)
{
DataRow drc = rows[t]; //Current row
DataRow [] childrows = drc.GetChildRows("l2");
