Hi,

I have a situation where I need to send a Datarow.tiem to a function for
processing. I cant figure out the right type to specify in the function to
receive the item. What should it be?

Psuedo code...
Row.Item("EmployeeID") = GetValue(Row.Item("EmployeeID")


private function GetValue(ByVal RowItem as DataRow.Item) as boolean
...
end function

Thanks,
Ron

The type of the Item property is Object, so ByVal RowItem As Object

If you want this line of code to work:

Row.Item("EmployeeID") = GetValue(Row.Item("EmployeeID")


You need to return an Item (of type Object) as well


private function GetValue(byval RowItem as DataRow.Item) as Object

'change rowItem

return rowItem

end function
 
RSH,

I should use a Property instead of a Method for what you are doing. That is
in fact as it is done in a strongly typed dataset as well.

If you really want a method then combine the answers from Armin and Phillip
