Datatable Column ByteArray Problem

P

Phil C.

I've been having trouble getting a byte array back as a datatable column
with this code:
Public Class RegisteredCustomerVerify
''' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
''' <summary>
''' Friend Function ValidEmail
''' Pass plaintext email address to stored proc that must use

ByVal pass As String) As Boolean
Dim custDs As New DataSet
'custDs = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(connectionString(),
CommandType.StoredProcedure, "GetCustomerTable")
Dim cn As New SqlConnection(connectionString())
Dim cmd As New SqlDataAdapter
cmd.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand
With cmd.SelectCommand
.Connection = cn
.CommandText = "GetCustomerTable"
.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
End With
cmd.Fill(custDs, "Customers")
Dim dRow As DataRow
Dim dCol As DataColumn
Dim aes As New AesCryptClass
Dim iVByteArray As Byte()
Dim emailAddressByteArray() As Byte
Dim decryptedEmailAddress As String
Dim passByteArray() As Byte
Dim saltHsh As New SaltedHash
For Each dRow In custDs.Tables.Item(0).Rows
'Get the IV value and the encrypted email value of each row
If Not (dRow("IV").Equals(System.DBNull.Value) And
dRow("EmailAddress").Equals(System.DBNull.Value)) Then

'Dim ivSqlBinary As New SqlBinary(dRow("IV"))
Dim type As Type = dRow.Table.Columns("IV").DataType()
type.ToString()
iVByteArray = dRow("IV")
emailAddressByteArray =
Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(dRow("EmailAddress"))
passByteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(dRow("Password"))
decryptedEmailAddress = aes.Decrypt(emailAddressByteArray,
iVByteArray)
If plaintextEmailAddress = decryptedEmailAddress And _
saltHsh.ComparePasswords(passByteArray,
Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(pass)) Then
Return True
End If
End If
Next
Return False
End Function


In the debugger (code in asterisked section below), I am getting the table
"item" as <cannot view indexed property>
which led me to read this article:

which states:

There's a subtle problem with your code. The Rows property of a
DataTable
returns a DataRowCollection, not a DataRow. The indexer you are
attempting
to use ([0, DataRowVersion.Current]) only exists in DataRow. Further
this
indexer returns an object, as in row["columnName"] (ie. a column
value), not
a DataRow.

The only indexer in DataRowCollection is DataRow this[int index]
{get;}.

So, the correct way to write your code would be:

string fieldValue = updateDataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][0,
DataRowVersion.Current];

This will return the current version of the value in the first column,
in
the first row, of the first table.

but I think I am doing it correctly.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Phil,

I hate decrypting problems, however I have the idea that you at least miss
the streaming, for which you can use to avoid a disk the memorystream.

I answered it because I saw no answers so don't expect much help from this
beside this.

There is no problem with decryption,
the decryption code works fine independently, and indeed does use memory
streams.
