simple syntax question

DataRow dataRow = dataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0];
string myString = dataRow["MY_COLUMN_NAME"].ToString();

Make sure you have at least one row before you try this.

Hi Roger,
Thanks for the try ... I get error that Rows not memeber
of TableName. I tried various other combinations using
your format ... but no luck. All I want to do is access
a data item (without using a control) via code so that I
can compare/list/calculate/etc. within my program code.
I filled the dataset using a SQLAdapter ... but simply
don't know how to programatically get to the data. An
other ideas are certainly appreciated.
Thanks!

Try:

DsName.TableName("TableAlias").Rows(i).Items

("ColumnName")

Where i is the row number of the table you are after.
ColumnName would be the actual column name from your
orginal table.

Hope I understood your question correctly.

I am trying to access a column within a dataset. I candisplay data thru control but when trying to access viacode:
MessageBox.Show(DsName.TableName ("ColumnName").ToString)
I get the following error:

An unhandled exception of
type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in
microsoft.visualbasic.dll

Additional information: Cast from string "Status" to
type 'Integer' is not valid.

Can someone give me correct syntax or code example ...
Thanks!
A rookie
