How do I use the Locals Window to find a value in a Dataset????

How in the heck do I traverse this rediculously long object model to find
out if I actually updated a particular value in my dataset???

You have to 'dig' <g>...

DataSet.Tables[].Rows[1][]

Digging through each of the collections is a nightmare. It's actually
quicker to just type this into the Command Windows or add a Watch for
something like this:

DataSet.Tables["MyTable"].Rows[0]["FieldName"]

When I run this in the immediate window I get the following:
DsClient1.Tables["ClientByID"].Rows[0]["PersonLastName"]

Identifier expected.

DsClient1 is a typed dataset on my UI.

Hello Aaron,

Please be noted that the name of DsClient1 in the immediate window is
case-sensitive.

I also recommend you append Tables["ClientByID"], Rows[0] and
["PersonLastName"] gradually to DsClient1 in the immediate window, and
check which one causes the problem.

Hope this helps.

If it's a typed dataset, shouldn't you be able to type:

DsClient1.ClientByID(0).PersonLastName

?
