dataset datable

Hi all,

I have a dataset which I pass back from my webservice to my app.
In my webservice, it looks like this:
ds.Tables["StudentTestpaper"]

I want to access the datatable in my dataset in my app after it has received
the dataset.
How do I do this ? I tried:
int intTest = (int)ds.Tables["StudentTestpaper"].Rows[0][0];
DateTime strDT2 = (DateTime)ds.Tables["StudentTestpaper"].Rows[0][8];

This doesn't work.

TIA,
andrew

ok, something in your reference doesn't exist. The dataset? The table? The
row? The cell? If you set a breakpoint, you should find out what is missing.
Could be there is a problem in the way how you pass the dataset in the
webservice?

You need to break it down:

DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];
if(null!=dt)
{
DataRow dr = dt.Rows[0];
if(null!=dr)
{
//// you get the drill
}
}

With all the ordinal stuff, you might want to consider creating a strongly
typed DataSet

Thanks for your replies.

I changed the code to:

int aa = (int)ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][0];
DateTime strDT2 = (DateTime)ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][8];

It seems that ds.Tables["StudentTestpaper"] is not the same as ds.Tables[0]
, hmm...... I am sure that I populated my dataset in my webservice with
["StudentTestpaper"].

regards,
andrew
