Is it possible to use typed fields from a DataViewRow object?

[Johann Blake]

When adding a new row to a DataView, is it possible to cast the
returned DataViewRow to a typed row? Without casting, I am forced to
indicate the names of fields as strings when setting their values.
Example:

DataRowView drv = myDataset.SomeTable.DefaultView.AddNew();
drv["ID"] = Guid.NewGuid();
drv.EndEdit();

Since I already have a typed Dataset, it would be nice if there was a
way to do something like...

drv.ID = Guid.NewGuid();

This has the advantage that it is checked during compile time. Without
doing it this way, if I ever change a field's name or even delete it, I
won't know it until run-time.

Thanks for any help

Hi Johann,

A DataRowView should hold a reference to a DataRow which you can downcast to
the typed data row.

For example:

((MyTypedDataSet.MyTypedRow)theRowView.Row).ID = Guid.NewGuid();

The DataRowView has a property row

I hope this helps,
