I don't understand why the question below has not been answered here. I
assume I am in the right newgroup. To me it seems a reasonable question.
What gives?



If reviewing how to get the DataRowVersion data from a row in a dataset I
see no example of how to do this with a strongly typed dataset using dot
notation. Below I have an example of how I get a value into a integer value
called OrigStatus not using dot notation.



OrigStatus = CInt(Me.DataSetQuoteDetail1.quote(0)("quote_status_id",
DataRowVersion.Original))



As you see, in the example above it is necessary for me to supply the name
of the column in quotation marks. Is there a way to do this in a strongly
typed dataset using dot notation so that I don't have to supply the column
name in quotation marks?

You only asked the question yesterday. No one is *required* to answer
your questions. Most people who contribute to these groups do so on
their own time. Perhaps noone has had time yet. It could take a
couple of days before a question is answered.

If you need to have a response within 2 business days and you have an
MSDN Universal, Enterprise, Professions, or OS subscription, then you
can register with Microsoft and they will respond to your questions.

To answer your first question, you posted originally less that 24 hours ago
(per my article list for this group), and waiting a day or two for feedback
would not be considered unusual in any newsgroup.

As a shot in the dark on your technical question, look into the
DataColumn.Ordinal property. I believe you can reference your DataColumn
objects by their Ordinal values as well as by name.

See the article "DataColumn.Ordinal Property" in the Visual Studio MSDN
help.
 
Woody,

Yes, sometimes even when you are using a Typed DataSet, you need to revert
to the "other" way of accessing your columns. It's really no big deal however
because of Intellisense. What I always do is to use Intellisense to actually
get the correct column name (as you say, with the dot notation), and then
simply add the quotes around it and get rid of the dot. It's a little more
typing, but at least you don't have to remember the column name and have to
worry about typos.

Just my 2 cents ...

I do have a subscription to MSDN and so does the company I am currently
developing for. However, I apparently do not show up on your radar screen.

Bonie Beret gave me an answer that was very helpful.

Woody,

The main problem is probably that a lot of the regular visitors do not use
the by the designer created strongly typed datasets.

When they would not answer (when they not had the idea that they could give
a real answer) than the Microsoft guys could see that the message stayed
open. My expirience is that than Kevin or Peter mostly respond on that (With
answerable questions as yours).

However sometimes people answer without that they have a real answer (what
is no problem when there is already answered, however the first time it
would probably be better to leave it open). And than it is hard of course
for the Microsoft guys to check if there was a real answer.

And when you want to use your MSDE subscription, use than the webbrowser for
this newsgroup and log first in with your passport.

I hope this helps?

People answering in this group doesnt get paid for it, they do it on their own time
and to help people, dont have that attitude.
