Hello,

I´ve a problem with accessing the fields of a data row.

I created a row of my table "Metainfos":

private fp_databaseDataSet.MetainfosRow newMetainfosRow;

and then I can access for example the field "JournalName" in this
Metainfos-Table:

this.newMetainfosRow.JournalName


My question is now, if there is any solution to access the field with
using a variable like:

String field = "JournalName"

and then something like

this.newMetainfosRow.Field(field)

or something like that.



Regards,

Martin

Martin,

Yes, there is, you use the indexer, like this:

this.newMetainfosRow["JournalName"]

Note that you have to cast the return value to the type that you want,
in this case, it seems like a string, so you should do this:

string field = "JournalName"

string value = (string) this.newMetainfosRow[field];

Hope this helps.
