Hello,

In VB6.0 if I have a recorset and I want to move to a
specific location on it (let´s say a Field wich is the
primary key and is autoincrement) I woul type .Findfirst
where IDPAC = 5.
With the tecnology in VB.NET How can I do the same, ou
similar?

What I wont to do is to move to a specific record in a
table or recordset where my primary as a determined value.

Thanks in advance

Totally depends on what objects you are using? For instance, in a keyed
DataTable, you could use the .Select method. In a DataView, you could set
the .RowFilter. You can move around a BindingContext as well.

In a DataReader, you only now about one row at a time, so you'd need to walk
it until you found the value you are looking for (DataReaders are great
objects, but not well suited to what it appears you are looking for).

Maybe this group is better for the topic of your question:

Hi Luis,

Using a dataset you do more than with a recordset.
Some here typed examples (so there can be little errors)

To get in the 3th row the Item "Luis" in the first table of ds,
(ds=dataset)
ds.tables(0).rows(2)("luis") or if you want
ds.tables(0).rows(2).item("luis")

to find the first row in a table where the key is "luis"
dim dr as new datarow
'"luis" is the key colomn
dr = ds.tables(0).rows.find("luis")

to select a couple of rows
dim drselect() as datarow
drselect = ds.tables(0).select("myselectstatement")

And there are thousands more possiblities

What is confusing is that all documentation is in:
datasets
datatables
datarows
datarowscollections

But look at the introduction to datasets

I hope this helps?
