Hi Loungers,
I have this line of code which works:
this.clientDS.Tables[“Contacts”].ImportRow(row);
I have a lot of tables where I want to import a row, so I just want to pass a table into a method, like so:
private void CopyDataTable(DataTable dataTable)
{
some code here
this.calloutDS.Tables(dataTable.TableName.ToString()).ImportRow(row);
}
any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Hi Mark – duh! I forgot to say that this line generates an error.
this.calloutDS.Tables(dataTable.TableName.ToString()).ImportRow(row);
I get a compile-time error message which is incomprehensible to me: “Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type ‘System.Data.Dataset’.
It works fine if I substitute a literal in quotes, e.g.
this.calloutDS.Tables(“Persons”).ImportRow(row);
But then I’d have to write a separate little routine for each table … 
Try square brackets for the Table reference:
this.calloutDS.Tables[dataTable.TableName.ToString()].ImportRow(row);
If that doesn’t work, try assigning the table name to a string variable then using the syntax above.
Hope this helps 
I’m so happy I could jump for joy! Thank you – the square brackets worked! I’m so used to VBA that I never think of square brackets.
Mark – do you have any words of wisdom about when to use square brackets?
Switch to VB.Net and avoid them entirely??

Hi Mark and Charlotte,
I agree with you and like you am learning C# because my work demands it. I’m reading “Visual C#.Net : A guide for VB6 Developers”. Wrox Press. I’m finding it very useful. I miss VB’s case insensitivity. In the Wrox book it says, “Microsoft has developed this new langugage taking the best of many languages, making it easy and powerful, and has even used it to write the FCL. Microsoft is pushing to make C# the lead language for .NET programming.”
I’m having to learn so many new concepts: inheritance, polymorphism, constructors and destructors and namespaces, overloading, free threading, delegation – and these are all in VB.NET and C#.NET, so it doesn’t seem a big burden to also learn a new, more elegant language, which takes the best of java and VB and other languagues.
