Reading a field's value from a DataView

[discocarp]

Can somebody tell me why this doesn't work and what the correct way to get a value from the database is?

 

 

DataRowView r=data_view[recnum];

label1.Text=r.Row["Name"];

 

Thanks

What's wrong with what you have? Does it throw an exception, give you the wrong data, or something else?

It won't compile. I'm at home now, tomorrow I'll post the exact error. Thanks for your time!

I get the following compile error on the line label1.Text=r.Row["Name"];

 

 

Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'string'.

I figured it out. The line should be:

 

label1.Text=(string)r.Row["Name"];
