For Each ordering in Dataset Table?

[James Jensen]

I ran into a snippet of code that uses a FOR EACH loop to step through
the rows in a Dataset.Table object. I understand that the FOR EACH
statement implements the MoveNext function of the IEnumerator
interface of the InternalDataCollectionBase object.

I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the iterator in this
case uses a certain hashing algorithm? The table object in question
is filled via a stored procedure that returns its data unordered.

Could it be that the data comes out from the iterator in the same
order that it was filled?

Hi James,

First, you're best off posting this to
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet. There are very knowledgeable
people there who can answer this question definitively.

I am not as strong as you are on interfaces but I am very strong on ado .net
in general and the for each loop. Yes, the data comes out in the order in
which it was filled, but I don't understand the underpinings as you do, so
with particular regard to the ienumerator interface, I can't help you.

HTH,
