Should be simple
I am trying to set a variable to the value in a dataset column/row
here is the code that i have
string delimStr = ",.:";
char [] delimiter = delimStr.ToCharArray();
int x = 10;
string locations = dsLogins1.Tables[0].Column
string [] splitlocations = locations.Split(delimiter , x);
foreach (string s in splitlocations)
The locations value that is held in the table is something like 23,100,241,221
When I do a debug and view the variable value of locations, it just is a string "locations"
How do I set the value of this to the variable?
Thanks,
Justin

One more questions semi related.
first I am using a drop down box to select a value. This dropdown is bound to the dataset (this is done in the desinger)
when the user presses a select button it binds to text boxes and a few check boxes to values in the dataset (the row the user selected)
My problem is how do I know what row the user selected, since this wasn't done in code but in the designer I am not aware of the row index.

well, the follow up question should technically be a new question in the forums since it's a different type of question. Just fair for the points...
But, my first thoughts are that when a user selects something from the dropdown box, they are not actually selecting a "row" from the dataset. What you'll have to do is find the selectedindex or selecteditem from the dropdown box and, via code, find the row containing that information and make changes from there. It shouldn't matter if your dataset and dropdown are bound via code or the designer, you're still looking at "item" objects from the dropdown box.
If you make a new post for this question and paste some of your code, I can help you more with it.
