I am getting an error:
Use of unassigned local variable 'postDateRow'
But it is assigned.
Here is the code:
int payDateRow;
int postDateRow;
for(ktr=0;ktr<= rtDataBean.data Table[0].GetUpperBound( 0);ktr++)
{
mDt.Columns.Add (new DataColumn(rtDa taBean.dataTabl e[0][ktr]));
if (rtDataBean.dat aTable[0][ktr] == "Pay Date") payDateRow = ktr;
if (rtDataBean.dat aTable[0][ktr] == "Post Date") postDateRow = ktr; <-
assigned here
};
for(ktr=0;ktr<= rtDataBean.data Table.GetUpperB ound(0);ktr++)
{
DataRow mDr = mDt.NewRow();
for (ktr1=0;ktr1<=r tDataBean.dataT able[0].GetUpperBound( 0);ktr1++)
{
mDr[ktr1] = rtDataBean.data Table[ktr][ktr1];
};
mDr[ktr1] = rtDataBean.data Table[ktr][ktr1] + " / " +
rtDataBean.data Table[ktr][postDateRow]; <- error here
mDt.Rows.Add(mD r);
};
Why is this an error?
Thanks,

No it isn't, it is only assigned *if* a condition is true.
If assignment cannot be guaranteed, you need to initialise the variable to
some default value.

tshad,
At runtime there is no guarntees that the loop will be executed at least
once, thus no guarantee that the variables will be initialized. To make the
compiler happy give them some intialie value e.g *null* upon declaration.

If assignment cannot be guaranteed, you need to initialise the variable to
some default value.
I had thought that scalars were set by default (int=0,char='' etc).
Apparently this is not the case.
Then I assume
int postDateRow=0;
will work?

Apparently this is not the case.
Instance variables and static variables have default values (the
default value for a char is '\0' by the way - '' isn't a valid
character literal) but local variables don't.

So they would be something like this?:

Well,
static int test;
instead, but yes. (Not inside a method declaration though.)

Hi,
So they would be something like this?:
int static test;
In addition to Jon comment you should not do this just to get it
initialized, a static member is shared to all the isntances of the class
therefore you need to keep special attention when using threads, it could
get you in trouble down the road if not used right
IMO you have to change your code, are you 100% sure that both values will
ALWAYS be present in the datatable?
What to do if this is not the case?
you could do somethign like:
int payDateRow = -1;
int postDateRow = -1;
for(ktr=0;ktr<= rtDataBean.data Table[0].GetUpperBound( 0);ktr++)
{
mDt.Columns.Add (new DataColumn(rtDa taBean.dataTabl e[0][ktr]));
if (rtDataBean.dat aTable[0][ktr] == "Pay Date") payDateRow = ktr;
if (rtDataBean.dat aTable[0][ktr] == "Post Date") postDateRow = ktr;
};
if ( payDateRow <0 )
thrw new Exception( " Pay date undefined:");
if ( postDateRow <0 )
thrw new Exception( " Post date undefined:");

Sorry to pick on you Ignacio - I know you know what's really going on
here, but I find that people get confused by the idea that a static
member is "shared to all the instances of the class". It's not that
it's shared by all the instances - it's that it's not specific to *any*
instance. It effectively belongs to the type, so it's shared whether
there are any instances or not.
