When you say "database records" are you referring to rows in a DataTable as
retrieved using a SQL query? Typically, such rows consist of multiple fields
with disparate data types. Arrays, by default, store multiple instances of a
single data type. Are you trying to create an array of DataRow objects?
If you could be a bit more specific about what you intend to store in your
array, I'm sure better answers will appear.

Hi, I'd like to put a load of database results (several rows for 5 fields) into a two-dimensional array. Now, this may be a really stupid question, but can someone give me a pointer for how to do it? I can bind data to datagrids and lists and stuff all day long, but can't seem to grasp this one. Any pointers to a useful article / demo (or just any useful pointers!) would be much appreciated. Thanks,

The database is running on our server and is not accessible via the net. Any help...

I have a data table that is connected to a database table with a data adapter in the 'standard' manner. However I want to be able to remove selected rows from the data table (i.e. no longer include them in the set that is displayed to the user) but I don't want to delete the corresponding row from the database. I've tried using the .Rows.Remove() method but an exception is thrown to say I don't have a 'delete' command in the data...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
