DataRow missing Item Property

[joe_pool_is]

Using VS2005 Pro, the *Help says the DataRow has an Item Property that is supported in the .NET Framework 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0.

 

*Reference:

ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.NETDEVFX.v20.en/cpref4/html/O_T_System_Data_DataRow_Item.htm)

 

However, whenever I try to index a row by its Item, I get an error. The compiler says:

Error 1 'System.Data.DataRow' does not contain a definition for 'Item'

 

What happened to the Item Property? Do you have this on your version?

Rats! I figured it out.

 

For VB:

Dim row As DataRow
' ...
Dim name As String = row.Item["Name"]

For C#:

DataRow row;
' ...
string name = row["Name"]

Naturally, I'm using C#.

 

It'd be nice if the help file specified that "Item" was a VB creature. I checked, and it didn't.
