getting row index of dataset

[Sam]

Hi,
Here is my code :

For Each row As DataRow In ds.Tables(0).Ro ws
next

How can I get the index of the row being processed ?

Thx

[Sam]

Of course I could include a counter in my loop ... but i was wondering
if there is another way

If you use an indexed loop instead of a For Each loop then you will have the
index at your fingertips.

sorry I was writing my message while you were posting yours. I wasn't
meant to be rude :)
So ok, i'll use a counter instead
thx

Why?

Sam,
In addition to using an indexed For loop. You can simply increment a counter
with a For Each.

For index As Integer = 0 to ds.Tables(0).Ro ws.Count - 1
Dim row As DataRow = ds.Tables(0).Ro ws(index)
...
Next

or

Dim index As Integer = 0
For Each row As DataRow In ds.Tables(0).Ro ws
...
index += 1
Next

Either works, performance may vary based on the specific collection. I
normally use the second as it seems cleaner.

Hope this helps

So you see how personal preference can be different, for me is that with the
first.

(Maybe because I am with the second never sure that there is not used a kind
of dictionary index, what does in the first case not matter, I hope this
describes what I want to say with that. I don't believe that that is done
here by the way)

That leads me to use consequently to use the first when I need an index. Can
be a crazy feeling by the way.

If the first does not have an "index" to use performance can greatly matter!
For example if the "list" is based on a linked list, the performance of the
first can be horrific as you need to recount each element each time you call
the Item (indexer) property...

Also as you suggest, For index will not work with a hashtable (dictionary).
Why have an "oddball solution" and use For index for some loops & For each
for others. Hence I normally use For each for all loops...

Just a thought
