Walk thru all relations in dataset

[Joe]

Hi

I have a dataset with 3 tables and 2 relations
Is there a way to when I am at 1 row to tell if there is a relation on that
row ???
I have the code hardcoded but try to make it work if the # of tables and
#relations increase or decrease
So I can just pass any dataset and walk thru the rows??

Thanks

for (int p = 0; p < ds.Tables[1].Rows.Count; p++)

{

//Get Childs rows of parent

DataRow [] rows = ds.Tables[1].Rows[p].GetChildRows("Level1");

for ( int t = 0; t < rows.Length; t++)

{

DataRow drc = rows[t]; //Current row


//Get Childs rows of parent

DataRow [] childrows = drc.GetChildRows("Level2");

}

}

Joe,

What I would do is before you loop through the rows in a table, cycle
through the relations to find out which one uses your table as the parent
table. Store those in a list.

Then, through each row, you can find the child rows by calling
GetChildRows on each row for the relation for each relation you know your
current table is a parent of.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas

Thanks

The problem is that the relation is at different levels
This is a dataset with 3 tables

table1 shows 2 relations l1 and l2
From Table1 I get a row collection from the parent row with relation
From 1 row from collection I get another collectiom with another relation

The Tables are all cascading
I am starting at the top level maybe I should start at the bottom???

I am submitting another question to the group because I am not sure if this
is easier or
xml and xpath if I use the xsd - this dataset can have any number of fields
and relations
and I get it down stream

Thanks


DataRow [] rows = ds.Tables[1].Rows[p].GetChildRows("l1");
for ( int t = 0; t < rows.Length; t++)

{

DataRow drc = rows[t]; //Current row

DataRow [] childrows = drc.GetChildRows("l2");
