hi,
I have a data set filled with the table extracted from a data base, now i wish to extract the 1st 2 colums of 1st 2 rows , and save them in a string variable how to do this i am not getting that .
in VB.NET
dim myds as new dataset
' code to read table from the data base
' ..........
' ..........
dim str1 as string
dim str2 as string

str1 = myds.tables........... ' some thing i am not geting
str2 = myds.tables........... ' some thing i am not geting

thx for completing my code

str1 = myds.tables(0).rows(0).item(0)
str2 = myds.tables(0).rows(0).item(1)

assuming that this is the first table in your dataset. This would pull the 1st 2 columns values in the first row. To get the values in the second row:

str1 = myds.tables(0).rows(1).item(0)
str2 = myds.tables(0).rows(1).item(1)
