I assume that you are filling the dataset from a table in a database.
Therefore, you are sending a "Select..." statement to the database to get
the records that you are inserting into the dataset. The best way to avoid
certain records from being loaded is to specify a filter in the WHERE clause
of your SELECT statement. I don't know what you mean by "empty" records, but
if by "empty" you mean that all the fields are NULL, then your WHERE clause
would be "Where NOT (field1 IS NULL AND field2 IS NULL AND field3 IS NULL...
(repeat for all fields))".

Hi, I've got a simple console app that just reads an XML file into a DataSet then prints out a description of each table in the DataSet, including column names and row values for each column. I'm getting some strange results depending the input XML file I use. I was wondering if somebody could help me understand what is going on or point me to a good reference. The code for my program looks like this:

Hi, I am having trouble determining if my dataset is empty. I have function that populates a dataset from a database and then retuens it. If the database contains no data then the dataset will be completely empty, and then when I go to databind() it to a combo box and error will be throw. What I whould like to do is check the dataset from code to see if it is empty.

A dataset is saved in session state. Then the dataset is filled out with the new records using a dataadapter. It appears then that the dataset saved in session state contains the new records even without saving the updated dataset. Why does this happen? How can I preserve the dataset saved in session state from automatical updating? Thank you.

I am having no problems connecting to a DB, creating a DataAdapter, and creating a dataset...and connecting to the data. Using the builtin data objects to do all this. My only problem now is navigating through the data. I can get the data into a datagrid without any problems, but I want the data to show up in textboxes and use some sort of move next, move previous, move last, etc (like in VB6) command to navigate the data (using...

Hi all, Would someone be able to tell me the most 'graceful' way of removing unwanted rows from a dataset based on a condition prior to update? OR, resetting the rows all to unchanged after they are initally added to the recordset. I create a dataset, which begins empty after the initial .Fill. Then I create several rows with some default information, leaving one

This is a question that someone familiar with ASP.NET and ADO.NET DataSets and DataTables should be able to answer fairly easily. The basic question is how I can efficiently match data from one dataset to data in a second dataset, using a common key. I will first describe the problem in words and then I will show my code, which has most of the solution done already. I have built an ASP.NET that queries an Index Server and returns a...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
