Column names typed dataset

[Guest]

Is there a way to get the column names in a strongly typed dataset. If I
have a dataset and want to set RowError to the name of the column without
hardcoding it. I want a compile time error if the name of the column does not
exist in the dataset.

If I have a column named emailaddress in Dataset adressDataset I want to do
something like this

adressRow.RowError = adressDataset.adressTable.emailaddress.columnname

Hi,

Try with:
adressRow.RowError = adressDataset.adressTable.emailaddressColumn.columnname

where addressDataset is an instance of your strong typed dataset.
However, this won't work if your dataset is defined in another assembly...

Thanks for a quick reply!
The problem is that the dataset is defined in another assembly. Is there a
way to solve this? Does it work in version 2.0 of .Net framework?

Not that I know of.

Yes, it should.
