Accessing a Row in a typed Dataset

[George Grodentzik]

I created a typed dataset from which I am trying to access the data. When I use the following code to access a row
string name =dataset.person[1].firstName
I receive an error System.IndexOutOfRangeException as if there are no rows. Yet when I dump the data to a file I receive (sample of file)
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?><Dataset1 xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Dataset1.xsd"><Table><accountNo>1</accountNo><firstName>John </firstName><lastName>Smith </lastName><middleInitial></middleInitial></Table><Table><accountNo>2</accountNo><firstName>Michael </firstName><lastName>Kimson </lastName></Table><Table><accountNo>3</accountNo><firstName>Lewis </firstName

What am I doing wrong. How should I access the Rows of data in the dataset. I also tried to loop through the rows with a foreach loop but apparently there is no enumerator for this class

Hi George,

What's the table name? "person"?

Have you tried this:

string name =dataSet11.Tables["person"].Rows[1]["firstName"].ToString();
or
string name =dataSet11.Tables[0].Rows[1]["firstName"].ToString();

You can use the following code to loop through the rows:

foreach(DataRow dr in dataSet11.Tables[0].Rows)
{
Console.WriteLine(dr["firstName"].ToString());
}

Regards,

Felix Wu

Hi George

I think your table that has data is named Table and not person.
Do the check - look at the dataset.Tables[0].TableName property.
