Using untyped datasets?

Can you change the query to return an Observable collection instead? (if thats in your control)

Alternatively, you may have to create a model class and loop through returned rows to populate the observablecollection. This shouldn't be difficult, however two way binding may require sending updates back to the database?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am using Silverlight 4 and SharePoint and want to fill an ObservableCollection from a returned dataset from SharePoint. I have the query and connection to SharePoint done. In my example my List is called _getList and my ListCollectionItems is called _getListItems. My query returns a dataset of x amount of rows of data from an Employee table.<br />
<br />
How do I iterate through the returned dataset (_getListItems) and populate Silverlight's ObservableCollection so that I may perform binding and validation on the controls (i.e. textboxes, listboxes, comboboxes, etc.)?

Fill ObservableCollection with database query

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.
