How do I get a datarow from a dataset? I have a datagrid and want to pass the selected datagrid row selected for update to another class to do validation. I get the following exception

There is no row at position 0.

DataSet.Tables[IndexOfTable].Rows[IndexOfRow] should do it for you. From
that exception, it looks like the table doesn't have any rows.

Before you call your function, do a Debug.Assert(DataTable.Rows.Count > 0)
and see what happens.

Thanks for replying so quickly!!! Hmmm, I tried that and still get the same result (or non-result :-). The "debug" expression returned true when i looked at it via the watch utility in VS . Net. Here's the method minus datarow passing (because I don't even get to the point)
Sub UpdateCommandEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridCommandEventArgs
mRowIndex = e.Item.ItemInde
Me.DataGrid1.SelectedIndex = mRowInde
'DataSet.Tables[IndexOfTable].Rows[IndexOfRow
'Me.DsNorthWind_CustOrders1.Tables.Coun
'mRowIndex's value has correct rowindex, I think I'm just missin
'something fundamental of dataset
mDataRow = Me.DsNorthWind_CustOrders1.Tables(0).Rows(mRowIndex
'send rowindex & datarow to ActivateRule for validatio
..
End Su

TIA
