Error when adding array to datatable

[a]

I get the error that "Argument"1": cannot convert from
'string' to 'System.Data.DataRow' at the foreach loop to add rows to the
DataTable...any ideas how to fix this?

Hi a,

As the error says you cannot add String as DataRow. You need to pass in a DataRow or an array of objects, one for each column.
foreach(string r in rows)
{
DataRow row = result.Tables["MyNewTable"].NewRow();
row[0] = r;
result.Tables["MyNewTable"].Rows.Add(row);
}

Alternately you could do

foreach(string r in rows)
{
result.Tables["MyNewTable"].Rows.Add(new string[]{r});
}

Morten:
Thank you very much for the help. I didn't know how to write that.
